I don't understand it....I follow the advise (the link) to the point and YaST comes up with dependency hell. Would you mind being a little more explicit? I don't know what you mean here by "dependency hell" - I don't see that
Anders Hi list and Anders,
- by dependency hell I mean that the upgrade seems to start - but then YaST comes out with red warnings (a LOT) that this or that programme/library/what-do-I-know cannot be satisfied and so.
At that point, I cancel the upgrade as YaST doesn't give me but one choice.. namely to ignore it. Which I certainly don't want to do.
Can I submit two screenshots, one of my repos (or I could perhaps use a zypper command to do the same thing?) and a screenshot that show the YaST problems?
Most of the conflict warnings on upgrading 4.1 to 4.3 are 'vendor change' warnings when you request an update that would upgrade a package and change the repo it comes from. This is for security and can't be disabled, but making this kind of upgrade easier and the dialog less terrifying is on our TODO list.
Resolve each conflict that has a 'changing vendor from openSUSE 11.1 to openSUSE Build Service' by choosing that vendor change radio button.
What are you left with?
Will
Hi Will and list, - thank you for your answer. - as can be seen from the conflicts.txt (may be downloaded from http://www.os-academy.dk/opensuse/), there are simply way too many to make this a viable option. Even so, there would still be quite many unresolved dependencies. I still find it hard to grasp that updating from a KDE4.1.3 desktop to a more recent, nearly-stable-recommended-and-used-by-everyone-on-this-list version 4.3 is so difficult... I actually downloaded and re-installed openSuSE11.1 about two weeks ago in order to supply a virginal and sound basis for en upgrade to KDE4.3 What really puzzles me is the fact that the commandline exercise with zypper (given earlier in this thread) and the zypper dup thing didn't do the thing. Anyhow, I still got a working desktop which is more than I had a few weeks ago :-) -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
