I have Opensuse 11 installed for at least 10 days now.
The only update I had was after the initial setup when I allowed it my information and it added the update repos to my list.
Since then, my updater applet which is set to check every 24 hours, never had an update! And I have KDE 4 (as well as 3.59 AND Gnome) installed!
The queer thing is that today I decided to give my good old Redhat updater, Yum, a try. I installed Yum via YaST as well as the plugin to check the base only. Then #“yum update” and it found hundreds (if not more) of pkg’s to update, but (luckily I think) it failed due to a missing dependency.
Perhaps Yum is suggesting software updates from Pacman and videolan repositories, while the KDE4 (and KDE3) updater suggests only security patches and important updates that appear in the update repository. The gnome updater (packagekit) will likewise turn green showing software updates from 3rd party repositories but will turn orange for recommended updates and red if there are important security patches. You may configure the KDE updater to show 3rd party updates as well. To do this right click on the applet and select configure Applet. Now turn on the option that says: Show available upgrades when backend provides them. Now you should see some upgrade notification from the applet.
Perhaps Yum is suggesting software updates from Pacman and videolan repositories…
I have the plugin “basearchonly” installed. Yum checks the base repo only.
Guess what? Just now the kde updater (actually it sais “Opensuse 11 updater”) applet announced that there is one new update, an update to the updater itself. After installing that, it complained and advised me to do a “zypper refresh”, which I did.
Now, the updater did indeed find updates, and installed them ok.
So this seems ok.
But… back to Yum. Besides the obvious question why is Yum finding so many things to update that the Suse/Kde updater is not, even after the aforementioned update via the new updater, yum is actually failing its own update due to problems in… YaST!!
So, it seems that I have to fix YaST as well.
On my next post in this thread I shall post the entire yum output.
-nat
Actually I’m having a problem posting the entire yum output due to this forum’s message limit of ‘only’ 10,000 characters. So, I’ll try snippets of the output.

phenom9600:~ #
So, its finding problems with YaST itself.
So three questions.
Is my updater applet really working?
Is yum’s assertion of YaST and other problems correct? How do I fix this and how can this happen in the first place.
When resolved, should I let Yum actually do the update? If so, does this mean that the updater is NOT working?
Thanks for pointing out the dupe repos. (The dupe YaST repos.)
I now see that there are two versions of the repos, one YaST, the other Yum. They are both on that list (in the screenshot) and actually YaST also displays either “YaST” or “Yum” repos.
So then, the problem is even more complex. After all any updater compares the versions in the repos versus what is installed. What is installed is the same, regardless what tools looks at it.
How can it be that one tool sees newer stuff available and the other does not? Granted, the yum repos is different. Does that mean that there are truly newer pkg’s available via yum which have not hit the YaST repos?
Furthermore, YaST was used to install AND configure Yum and its repos!
With so many pkg’s “to be updated” according to Yum, it seems more like a problem here. As you point out the discrepancy regarding gnutls.i586 0:2.2.2-24, and I don’t have the answer to that either.
Forget that. Yes, openSUSE 11.0 yum package comes with default repos for openSUSE Factory… there is little to do, so I would not even report the bug. Just change them.
A fix would come for 11.1, if they remember. And anyway today IMHO libzypp is a lot better than yum… and for 11.1 I don’t think anybody will prefer yum over libzypp.
I wonder why they did that. They should never auto enable development version of a repos, especially without informing the user. Regardless, what is the stable repos url? One minute… lemme try sometin…well it looks like I do have the stable repos:
It looks like we crisscrossed our posts.
Although I agree with you regarding libzypp, I installed yum because of two key reasons:
To check if it will find updates that YaST wasn’t finding. And it did! And that question is still not answered since it is from the stable repos.
I am new to Suse and have been working with Redhat/Fedora for many years, and am comfortable with yum and it’s features. For example, with yum I can have a proxy on the lan where all pkg’s are downloaded (once) and all stations transparently dl it from there.
Having said that, I like the YaST interface, and if not for the queer thing of having no updates over 10 days, I would have ignored yum.
Why they put development repos? Probably because during the development phase there isn’t a stable repo… and they just forgot to change it for the release. That would have never happened with libzypp, but since yum isn’t the official package manager and hasn’t so much users in openSUSE to report bugs…
