WTF?
Is anyone having these crazy problems with zypper’s resolver?
At first I was gonna say me because I was tracking all the way up until zypper in and then everything went like it should…are you having problems with the GUI zypper?
Might sound weird, but you might try updating or reinstalling it thru YaST and see if it gets happy go lucky…or…you may try a downgrade (UGH…I know…) using the 11.0 disc and then an upgrade using refreshed repos and see if that gets the desired result.
Reading installed packages…
No update candidate for ‘k3b’.
Nothing to do.
And the zypper from 10.3 what a sign of was?
About the first problem. zypper installed that update for me using “-t package” (I always use it). But your output is clearly a bug… report it copying&pasting what you wrote here.
The account for bugzilla is the same that you use in the forum, so everything you need to do is think a better title
@sosaudio1: YAST works fine. No problems with it. But one of the problems with YAST is that is doesn’t have an option of “list-updates”. Ithis is something I really wish it had on YAST. I know, you can always go to “Repositories” and then “@System” and select “All in this list -> Update is newer available”, but you know it’s not as user-friendly as an “Updatables” section.
@RedDwarf: Well, I tried using the “zypper -t libzypp” and this is what it gave me:
<code>sgameiro-laptop:/home/sgameiro # zypper -t libzypp
–terse is not implemented, does nothing
Unknown command ‘libzypp’
Type ‘zypper help’ to get a list of global options and commands.</code>
Anyway, I did an update for zypper (now version 0.11.9-0.1) through YAST, and the problem was still there. I’ll go file a bug.
Instead of using the zypper command-line, I decided I would try using “opensuseupdater-kde”, and here’s what happened:
1 - Opened updater
2 - Selected “Check Now” from Right-click menu on tray icon.
3 - It warned me that there was an update that affected the updater itself (libzypp, I guess. :rolleyes:)
4 - It allegedly installed the update (in a blink!!! Wasn’t it installed already? YES, IT WAS!).
5 - It restarted itself.
6 - I select “Check Now” once more. This time, a whole bunch of other updates came up.
7 - So I say “What the hell?” and try this time to execute once more “zypper lu” on command-line.
Anyway, I can’t even begin to guess where the problem is. I think it is on command-line zypper, but then again, doesn’t opensuseupdater-kde uses it as a backend or some sort?
What I always use to update my system is “zypper -v up -t package”.
Note that with “zypper up” packages from all your BuildService*, ATI and Packman repositories will not be updated. You will only receive updates from “openSUSE-11.0-Updates”.
I tried once more the “-t package” now. I didn’t know about this option, neither its difference. Thanks for the tip! Command-line zypper’s default -t is set to patch.
Also, I have found that there seems to be an option under the configuration of the opensuseupdate-kde applet that also shows available packages, not only the patches (which I think covers the -t option). It won’t change the icon displayed, but if you mouse over, it will indicate that there are updates, and these updates will be displayed under a different tab called “Updates”.
I’m not at my opensuse right now (at work), but the option to be selected is something like “Display package updates when made available by backend”, or something like that.
Yes, it’s the same than zypper up -t package… but ignoring repository priorities. If you would like repo priorities to not be ignored leave a comment in bug #402770.
