Hi,
I usually don’t post here asking questions as I can handle SUSE pretty well. However, today there were a few updates available, some related to kdebase3 and some to mysql. I thought, “fine, I’ll just install them like I do”. I didn’t expect any problems but I got them. Here’s what I did so far.
zypper ref && zypper up
this showed some updates for kdebase3 and libmysql. After letting zypper do its work, it halfway aborted saying that it couldn’t find the mysql updates on the update server. I found this a bit odd so I went to the update server and manually checked to see if these packages where there, and guess what? they were.
After running zypper multiple times and every time typing ‘r’ for retry, it finally “got” them from the server and installed the mysql stuff.
I ran zypper again to install the kde3 related patches, but to my surprise it does absolutely nothing. Refreshing the repos does nothing either. There’s a patch called “fileshareset” and has a summary of “kdebase3: Collective update”. This patch is supposed to update the following packages.
fileshareset
kdebase3
kdebase3-devel
kdebase3-kdm
kdebase3-nsplugin
kdebase3-runtime
kdebase3-samba
kdebase3-session
misc-console-font
I tried forcing the update in Yast online update module, but again nothing happens. I also re-installed all of the above packages in the hope that the problem will go away, but again zypper and the update applet in the panel always show that the “fileshareset” patch is available for download.
Any ideas on how to fix that?
