I'm probably one of the least technical people on this list. However, following the advice from Richard Brown,as well as some suggestions from James Mason and others, my Tumbleweed system is working well. The key was what Achim wrote: "...pretty carefully look at what zypper told you it was going to do".
zypper dup + ? + v was helpful to get more detail, especially about changing repositories zypper lr -P supported managing repository precedence
yast > software management gave the ability to lock versions or avoid loading packages.
You don't need to go to yast[2] as: zypper al <file> <repo> can accomplish the same. I even find it easier to directly edit /etc/zypp/locks The secret of it all is to pay attention to what your tools tell you and make sound decisions based on that information. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
