Hi
I’m running version 10.3 and it has been a couple of weeks now the automatic updates fail to apply, meaning that after every install/reboot the fancy notification icon is still there and the number of mandatory updates that I’m supposed to install is constantly increasing. Did anybody have the same issue? And how did you solve it?
cheers

In a root console run
zypper ref
zypper lu
zypper up
This will install the updates, which in turn should fix the openSUSE updater problem.
thanks cygnus, but when i try zypper up i have a ton of error messages of missing dependencies:

Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.
With this run only resolvables with the best architecture have been regarded.
Regarding all possible resolvables takes time, but can come to a valid result.
Solution 1: Make a solver run with ALL possibilities.
Regarding all resolvables with a compatible architecture.

what does “make a solver run mean”?

You could try the following command as root:
‘rpmdb --rebuilddb’
Your rpm database might be damaged. You can also issue tthe following commands as root:
‘init 1’
This will bring Linux in its limited console mode
‘cd /tmp’
remove everything in THIS directory
‘cd /var/tmp/’
remove everything in THIS directory
Please verify that you ARE in these directories!!!
‘init 5’
Brings you back to normal graphic login screen
Now you can do in a root console:
‘zypper refresh’
‘zypper -r update’
Changes are great that your update will succeed.
no Tom, the errors remain, and they are exactly the same…
how can i find out which dependencies it is looking for?
