If using manual 'rpm -Uvh' commands, how to update the YaST2 package database?
The YaST2 "package database" *is* the rpm database. YaST is a gui frontend... ;-)
Yet, will the YaST2 software list be automatically updated or completed installing additional or newer packages with rpm commands?
Yes, it will -- but you should avoid to install packages while the YaST2 packagemanager is running, because this could lead to confusion ;)
But is YaST2 software manager suited to install or upgrade the complete Gnome desktop, or is an installation script best to manage a required package order? I thought at least running YaST2 from a gnome session may cause problems trying a Gnome version upgrade or? Thanks, Terje
