Question about zypper

hgallo · February 19, 2011, 5:49pm

Hey Guys I have the following situation I want to run all my updates with the exception of

kernel-default | 2.6.27.54-0.2.1 | x86_64
kernel-default-base | 2.6.27.54-0.2.1 | x86_64
kernel-source | 2.6.27.54-0.2.1 | x86_64

When I run

zypper list-updates -t package

I get a huge list, so if I do

zypper update

All packages will be installed, The question is how can I run all the updates but the 3 above.

note: I do not want to use -> yast2 online_update and the reason why I don’t want to run the kernel updates is because I’m not ready to reboot yet.

Thanks…

There isn’t an option to skip a package, but you can specify a patch with the --type switch:

zypper up -t patch <packagename>

Hey Chief_sealth thanks for the info but, It would be kind of hard to include all of this:

you can start from the other end, lock the packages you don’t want to
update: “zypper addlock <alias|#|URI>”

and remove the locks when rebooting is an option again: “zypper removelock
<alias|#|URI>”

i’m sorry, checking the manual i see that i made a mistake: you have to
specify the package name, i.e., “zypper addlock <packagename>”

the other thing, with alias, repo-no., or URI is for restrickting the lock
to one particular repository, in case that package is available in more
than one.

Hi,

I know htat you don’t want to use yast to do the update, but did youknow that you can use it to stop packages frol being updated through it?

Just right-click the package in the add/remove software section and you can set it never to be updated…

(NB don’t know whether that has ant effect on zypper, though).

Hey Thanks Lenwolf, yeah I was aware of that but I kind of wanted to learn How to do it with zypper.
