KDE 4.2.1.xx upgrade

English Applications
1

last night I was doing a 4.2.1 upgrade - from 4.2.0

About 95% of the way through the factory repository became unavailabe. - no big deal - the only packages left were a few games

Restarted Opensuse and about 30 mins later popped into yast to check to see what packages were not updated and noticed that since I had done my update that all KDE 4.2.1.xx updates had been backtracked a step.

what I mean is
My update was showing one release newer than what is in the factory repo now

I can’t remember the number exactly but it was omsehthing lie I had upgraded to 4.2.1.76 and now the latest release in the same repo is 4.2.1.52

anybody know what happened?
Did they backtrack a little bit due to some problems?

I’ve have now refreshed my install to the same as that in the repos.

I see the same. Well I see Updates and Rollbacks. Probably some roll back due to problems. But my system has been just fine.

3

It now shows (103) - it had been (108)

Still working fine

4

yeah - I’ve had no problems either.
I wonder what the reason was?

Explains the repo becoming unavailable during the update though - first time I have struck that.

5

Why so many (~50) files are downgrade (rollback) after 4.2 -> 4.2.1 update?
Failed somebody or what?
Update working very well to me

Why in 32-bit KDE 4.2.1 factory-update-direktory find still today 44 older files than first-day after 4.2.1-update?

What goes wrong?

The 4.2.1-‘first-day-update’ work me OK, but I will not dowgrade to older files…

Can someone tell, what goes wrong?

7

Nothing is wrong. I rolled everything back a couple of days ago and today there were updates for me but still (103).

8

what you meen? First was newer files than now and you say ‘nothing is wrong’ …I think, was they ‘first-day-update’ too new or from unstable-thread or … ?

I not understand now …update is not downgrade… but openSuse’s KDE 4.2.1 it maybe is…?
I will know, was the first-day-updateing failed or was they from unstable-thread? or what?

I hawe rev 108

Yes, the release on Wednesday was ‘108’ and it seemed fine. The next day it had all changed to older packages ‘103’. I rolled them back and it was fine. I ran updates today, but it remains ‘103’.

It is not uncommon to see this happen in the build service. Even the stable repo’s will have that at times. It’s no good fretting over it. Just sit back and enjoy this wonderful desktop. I have had to do some Vista installs this week and it has just about driven me nuts.

All Hail the weekend and my lovely kde4:)

What is better now - update only newer files?
or update all - they newer (10-15) and downgrade they 44 files to older files? (I hope you understand what I will ask)
or is it better only wait so long than all files comes newer than now?
…couple weeks or months…

Update all unconditionally is what I did.
