opensuse11 yast/kdebase4 update error

English Applications
#1

Fresh install of opensuse11, i let yast automatically install updates. All of the updates seem to work except the “KDE4-fixes” update. The Summary is “KDE 4 post-release fixes”.

I get this error as soon as the update starts:
2008-07-10 10:11:59 kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1.x86_64 remove ok
2008-07-10 10:11:59 kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1.x86_64 remove failed
rpm output:
error: package kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1.x86_64 is not installed

2008-07-10 11:30:31 kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1.x86_64 remove failed
rpm output:
error: package kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1.x86_64 is not installed

The problem is, it’s correct, i don’t have this package installed:
kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.1
But i do have:
kdebase4-workspace-4.0.4-24.2

I have all of these:
rpm -qa|grep kdebase4
kdebase4-workspace-devel-4.0.4-24.2
kdebase4-openSUSE-11.0-74.2
kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE-11.0-74.2
kdebase4-workspace-4.0.4-24.2
kdebase4-session-4.0.4-6.1
kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd-4.0.4-24.2
kdebase4-4.0.4-18.1
kdebase4-nsplugin-4.0.4-18.1
kdebase4-workspace-plasmoids-4.0.1-71.1
kdebase4-libkonq-4.0.4-18.1
kdebase4-runtime-4.0.4-20.1

Thoughts? suggestions? Help?

Seems like the updater is stuck on the process of removing that package even though it’s been uninstalled. Try doing an update from yast software manager by selecting Packages > All Packages > Update If Newer Version Available. After that’s done, right click on the zypper updater icon and select Check Now.

#3

I was able to run the “update if newer version available” part, but still getting the rpm removal error listed above.
Is there some kind of rescan DB option for the software manager?

#4

try running zypper from the command line.

zypper ref && zypper dup

that should refresh all repos and do a dist-upgrade. Make sure you have the right repos enabled. (unless you want RC1 don’t enable factory repos)
