The second one is not necessarily a bug, because the solver uses different policies in 'dup' and 'up'. I suppose this will confuse several people, as they don't know what's the command they want to use. And as the zypper output is not very versbose, it's not that obvious why those packages were not considered in 'dup'. The question is what should zypper show to make it obvious. It would need some additional info from the solver, currently it just gets which

bugzilla_noreply@novell.com wrote: packages are going to be installed and which removed - no hit why. Or is there something more? No, it's about zypper displaying just the package names. It might become more obvious, if one sees more details about the packages changes. sure, this is planned. I thought you have something else in mind - some sort of explanations why some packages have or haven't been selected, etc...

...

foo (upgrade 2.1 -> 2.2) baa (downgrade 1.1 -> 0.9, arch i386 -> x_86_64) reh (reinstall 1.1 -> 1.1, vendor packman -> openSUSE)

It might also be helpfull to display an abstract of the solver policies, so one recognizes the different rules active for 'up' and 'dup'

allowdowngrade = 1 allowarchchange = 1 allowvendorchange = 1 allowuninstall = 0 ..

If you now don't see 'reh' in 'zypper up', but see

allowvendorchange = 0

you know why it's not there without need to file a bugreport. Yes, this is a good idea.

I think this will not work, because

1) nobody will notice the summary 2) those who notice will be confused what is the exact meaning

Anyway, in verbose mode that might be helpful.

Of course, this is nothing for default output, but on demand. - -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team - ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkqpfMACgkQgEhGpmN+6QHUXwCeLczMAoKTjxKSPjvLZOI6U2II MA4AmwUmZgidMoQlJozAMveKBI0Z9IaN =vOeK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
