I recently did a factory update on my 11.1 based x86 system.
So you now have an 11.2 beta system
????say what?!?? NO wonder I'm having all sorts of problems!
Since doing so one problem I've been having has been the sysstat package.
Was it updated, or is it still an 11.1 package?
--- heck if I know...I'll have to check
Anyone else using this package and tried a recent update of 11.1?
Comments like this make me wonder if you realise what "factory" is. It isn't 11.1
------ I thought it was the latest updates for 11.1.
I just checked my 11.2 test system, and I'm not seeing any error messages from sysstat, and /var/log/sa has "normal" sa files in it.
Ug! std-disclaimer about: factory update should break things like this...blahblahblah... :-)
While factory has a policy of always being in working order, its nature as the bleeding edge development repository means that it won't always be so.
It would also be interesting to know how you did the update from 11.1 to 11.2, and how many of your packages still are on 11.1 level
---- I have no clue...I just went into yast and thought I was updating my 11.1 packages to the latest patch level. Apparently I was wrong. I never would have upgraded this server to a BETA.. It's a critical server. Is there a 'roll-back function like on windows? I.e can I tell it to reinstall the latest updated versions of the 11.1 packages? FACTORY isn't a clear name at all. BETA is much more clear...FACTORY in common parlance implies "stock" (undecorated). It certainly doesn't imply "preview" items, or items that haven't been released to the general public. Example -- often items/goods (and even software) has an option to return your device or product to 'factory' settings -- that's not necessarily default -- but that's as it was shipped from the factory. If an item goes through post-factory processing before it gets to you, then 'defaults' may be different from factory, though that is rare. But Factory never implies pre-released products (except maybe in the openSUSE world). But I didn't think that carried over into yast... Do you have any suggesions on how I reinstall the latest 11.1 packages. I have backups, but it would be hard to do whole disk restores without losing other work I've done in the interim. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
