Opensuse 12.1 Update issue

Hi,

I got an update notification. When I opened Apper, it had an updae for software management. But when I try and install the update I get the following error message :“The package libzypp is essential to correct operation and cannot be removed using this tool”.

Now i see that Apper notification sits in my taskbar and due to this Yast doesnt launch as it says “Packagekit” is running.

Is there a way to install this update or remove it from the list of updaes?

Thanks,
Prad

Don’t use Apper

Configure it not to check for updates

Use your terminal and run this

su -
zypper patch

When it’s done, run it again
and then

zypper up

We don’t use apper. Broken.

I haven’t seen that, because I disable Apper.

I would call that a bug. It should be reported to the bugzilla.

To solve your immediate problem - if you are using KDE, then you can disable apper startup. Go into “Personal Settings” –> “Startup and Shutdown” –> “Service Manager”. In the bottom window, uncheck “Apper Monitor”. Then logout and log back in, and apper should not be running. I’m not a Gnome user, but there’s probably also a way to disable apper startup in Gnome.

With apper not running, yast online updates should handle things. In my case, it showed a bunch of updates, with only the zypper update checked. I told it to continue. It installed that update. Then it showed me the rest of the updates, which I then installed.

My personal way of handling updates: I disabled apper startup, as described above. I periodically run yast online update (typically around twice a week). Then I manually start apper (from the KDE menus) to check for other updates, since most of the packman updates don’t show up with yast online update. An alternative for those other updates is to run “zypper up” from a root command line.

I agree with the other responders, in that I don’t like apper and find running it automatically will cause more problems than it solves.

Still stuck with the same thing.

I tried installing the missing libzypp file but it seems there is a newer version on my system.

So basically zypper/apper are trying to update libzypp(libzypp-10.3.5-1.7.1.x86_64.rpm) but the new version is causing problems(libzypp-10.3.7-1.9.4.x86_64.rpm).

Is there a way to remove the higher version and install the lower version so that my updaes go through?

please show us the terminal input/output from


zypper lr -d

copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr

So basically zypper/apper are trying to update

you have been told three times in this thread to not use apper, it is
broken…so, how can it be trying to do anything?

disable apper…i can only guess how to do that: try right clicking on
the icon and from the popup menu which results see if there is not
something where you can allow, disallow or select:

-updates
-notifications of pending update
-startup at boot
-shutdown

following that run these commands


su -
rpmdb --rebuilddb
zypper clean --all
zypper ref
zypper patch

first, lets see what happens once apper is out of the picture (for sure
and for good) and the rpm database has been rebuilt…

so, let us hear how it goes…and, be patient that rpm rebuild may take
some time…give it plenty

First: remove apper. I don’t want to hear any problems about it, because
you are not using it, understood?

Then. The current version is indeed libzypp-10.3.7-1.9.4.x86_64, so I have
to wonder what repos you have active that it wants to downgrade.

So show us the list of repos, as Denver said.

first, please read and follow the paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT”
in this posting http://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu, i ask you to read that first
because it will explain what is guiding this:

please open YaST Software Repositorys and disable and stop refreshing
these repos: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23

then stop refreshing these: 8, 10, 18, 19, 22

if i did that right you should then have only four repos enabled (oss,
non-oss, update and packman; and only the last two or those refreshing.

after you have done that, then disable apper–have you done that?

ok, then reboot and do this in a terminal again:


su -
rpmdb --rebuilddb
zypper clean --all
zypper ref
zypper patch

and, next time you have more than four repos or download anything from
factory…you are on your own!!

in fact, i am nowhere near sure that what i have advised will repair all
the damage that (may) have been done with all those repos!!

and, i hope it is smooth because i would not know what else to do…

by the way, if it hurts your feelings that i’m asking you to follow info
in the “new person” FAQ then take a look at my repos:

You have duplicated several times the repos oss, non-oss and updates.
Remove the duplicates. How did you manage to do that?

You have the packman repo twice, remove one.

Remove the “PK_TMP_DIR” repo.

Remove the “openSUSE_Factory” - what on earth are you doing with that one,
what are you thinking? It will destroy your system.

At least ignore it completely.

You should have stopped here, your repo list is wrong. At this point I
would revise the entire list of installed packages using the yast package
manager, looking at those packages in red or other colors. In the version
tab you can choose which version you want. Some of them you will have
probably to downgrade.

agree…
that was my fault…
i typed the ‘zypper lr -d’ request, scrolled down to read…
the phone rang,
i fed the lion,
built a house,
came back to the email and just picked up where i left off reading…

and THEN copy/pasted in did the zypper fix it magic 1,2,3…

eventually, a dup might be required–no?

Hi Denver,

Did all that you told and after the “zypper patch” instruction finally I see that everything is fine.

linux-o6mf:~ # zypper patch
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Thanks you for your help… :smiley:

Understandable :slight_smile:

Anyway, a zypper patch can do no damage as it pulls only from the update
repo, so don’t worry. And the user should have noticed at least part of the
problems in the repo list, the repeated repos are obvious.

> eventually, a dup might be required–no?

I’m afraid so.

very welcome…keep those repos trimmed down to oss, non-oss, packman
and update all the time and you will not have troubles like these…

and, realize that any software one click that comes from a repo with any
of these words in it might kill you system: unstable, tumbleweed,
playground, experimental, home, maintenance

and, consider downloading from factory about as safe as playing in the
street.

and, after every 1-Click check to make sure all repos it enabled are
disabled and not refreshing…

or, of course it is your machine so do as you wish–but if you break it,
you fix it.
