I regularly patch my 11.1 o/s via "zypper ref -b" followed by "zypper up".
Usually everything goes fine. However, last night tomcat6 was one of the proposed upgrades, and it failed.
This morning I repeated my usual procedure, and only tomcat6 was proposed.
When it ran, it failed with the message below.
Any ideas about how to proceed (info to gather, is it a config problem on my end, etc.)?
The update is broken, it tries to replace a directory with a symlink. Unfortunately that's an operation that rpm doesn't support.
zypper rm tomcat6 zypper in tomcat6
should do the trick. (But save your tomcat configuration changes first.)
Sorry, bad advice. That deletes too many packages. It should read rpm -e --nodeps tomcat6 zypper in tomcat6 Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
