Can I disable the sensitivity of words in zypper?

Well,

**mozillafirefox**

is not

**MozillaFirefox**

Thus the two commands have no connection.

**mozillafirefox=**MozillaFirefox just upper M and F

does it relate to the words being big or small or that is special command name?

I do not know w hat you are after. In Unix/Linux an m is a different character then an M.
As different as it is from an 8 or a Ψ or a ल.

The package maintainer decided to name his package MozillaFirefox. I guess you have to live with that.

Hi
@OP, why the selective updating, zypper dup and it should pull the packages in…?

Hi
If your using a non standard repo, then as long as you switch the packages first, then zypper dup won’t change vendor (the default).

Use verbosity with the -v command (more v’s more verbosity), using zypper dup is the only way to ensure a clean update to the next snapshot and will show you if something may break.

i have found that for zypper,
Searching is case insensitive,
Installing is case sensitive.

As it should be.
Linux is a case sensitive OS, which both forces you to be m more precise in your naming syntax and also gives you additional options not available under case insensitve OS like Windows.
