First, I’m new to OpenSuse and rpm. Been using Debian for 7 years, so be gentle
I upgrade KDE 4.3.1 to 4.3.5 through the one-click install. After confirming some actions due to dependencies the install runs and in the end it said it failed to install a bunch of packages. These packages installed just fine and everything works as it should.
I was wondering if this happens more often, as it makes me kinda nervous if the installer warns me? Perhaps even more if it warns about things that aren’t correct.
Did you let YaST ignore dependencies (never do so!)? Could you run
zypper verify
and give us the output?
Besides, one-clickers are okay for single apps, but when upgrading / installing bundles such as a desktop environment one should always use the regular way via YaST / zypper, for one-clickers still sometimes fail then.
Zypper seems happy. I’m not sure about any orphaned packages. I don’t think so. I’m still playing with it, so I was testing 1-click for bigger upgrades, though that works just fine in “the-other-linux-distro” (it’s just my point of reference…).
