[SUSE 11.4] certain packages are not udating

gt540 · November 7, 2011, 6:45pm

Hi all,

This maybe a newbie question but I want to know the inside out. When I try to update SUSE using zypper command I have noticed some of the packages are not getting updated/installed.

like:-


sudo zypper update
root's password:
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

The following package updates will NOT be installed:
  gstreamer-0_10 gstreamer-0_10-plugin-gnomevfs gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base 
  gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-lang k3b kaffeine 
  libdrm libdrm-devel libgstapp-0_10-0 libgstinterfaces-0_10-0 
  libgstreamer-0_10-0 libpciaccess0 libpciaccess0-devel libpixman-1-0 
  libpixman-1-0-devel libtag-extras1 libwavpack1 libXi6 libxine1 
  libxine1-gnome-vfs libxine1-pulse linphone Mesa mjpegtools python-numpy 
  taglib xkeyboard-config xorg-x11 xorg-x11-driver-input xorg-x11-driver-video 
  xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau 
  xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd xorg-x11-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-core 
  xorg-x11-libfontenc xorg-x11-libICE xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-libSM 
  xorg-x11-libX11 xorg-x11-libX11-ccache xorg-x11-libXau xorg-x11-libxcb 
  xorg-x11-libXdmcp xorg-x11-libXext xorg-x11-libXfixes 
  xorg-x11-libXfixes-devel xorg-x11-libxkbfile xorg-x11-libXmu xorg-x11-libXp 
  xorg-x11-libXpm xorg-x11-libXprintUtil xorg-x11-libXrender xorg-x11-libXt 
  xorg-x11-libXv xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-Xvnc 

Nothing to do.

Why is that is there a conflict in my repositories? My repositories are

read the paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT!” in this thread
http://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu and then follow that advice until you have
only four repos enabled (oss, non-oss, update and packman)…and only
two refreshing (update and packman)… then try your update again

Probably because they are available on a different repo that the one the
current versions come from (different vendor).

One way to see is using yast package manager (qt or kde version), and list
all those packages. They will show in color, with the possible upgrade in
parenthesis. If you then click on the versions tab, you will see where each
possible upgrade comes from.

There is also a way to show this info with zypper, but I do not remember it.

Notice that mixing packages from different sources can make problems.
Zypper not updating those is for good reasons.

Thanks, I have managed to resolve the conflicts through YaST package manager as you said. Those conflicts were came from Packman and Suse vendor repositories I have updated conflicting packages from Packman repository then the conflicts gone.
