Default Re: Yast reports wrong versions

Hi,

The only way Yast would provide something that you're describing is if you have the priorities of your repositories set in an incorrect way. If you tell YAST that you want the Updates repository to have priority over the KDE repositories then it's going to tell you to install the (4.1.3) packages from the update repository since they have higher priority, even though YOU know that the 4.2.4 packages from the KDE 4.2 repository are newer.

Caf's information was correct, to

Quote:
set update repo to 99 priority with all the others
oss and non-oss to 120


In Software management - Filter by repo
select 42 desktop and do Update all in this list Unconditionally and the same for the community 42
When you set the Update repository to 99, it will have the same priority as the KDE repository. Thus, instead of trying to take the kde 4.1.3 packages from the update repository, Yast will recognize the 4.2.4 packages from the KDE 4.2 repository as higher and recognize them as up-to-date.

Yast will only do what you tell it to do

Take Care,

Ian
