I have 4.7.4-10.10 installed (as indicated by "(System Packages)") and zypper dup wants to install 4.7.4-6.30.2, obviously a lower

Probably due to the openSUSE buildservice servers being broken (until Monday AM their time). They lost three drives out of one array.

No, unfortunately this is a long standing problem with the build service. At any given time, you have "updates" in other repositories which have lower release numbers than the packages in the original openSUSE repositories. Release number handling between repositories in OBS is and has always been completely broken (there is no way to say a package in repo A should get a higher release number than the same package in repo B, there is no way at all to guarantee a strictly increasing sequence of release numbers)

other than limiting the repos which you subscribe....

Sadly not even that helps. The release numbers within a repo will frequently reset for no reason I have been able to determine

Thanks for the help. I'm going to zypper dup my laptop and if all goes well I'll dup my desktop. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
