What do the Version numbers shown in YaST mean?

When I look In YaST to find out what version of vulkan is installed I see that it is version 1.1-1.7.
What does this mean?
Do I have all versions from 1.1 to 1.7 installed?

Hi
Look on the versions tab to see what is and isn’t, zypper is easier?

You haven’t updated your system via zypper dup?

Using the following zypper command shows all the packages installed and their version;


zypper se -si vulkan

S  | Name           | Type    | Version     | Arch   | Repository           
---+----------------+---------+-------------+--------+----------------------
i  | libvulkan1     | package | 1.2.132-1.2 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)
i+ | vulkan-devel   | package | 1.2.132-1.2 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

Malcom,
Thank you for the quick reply.

Without doing a new zypper dup, here is what I got:


 # zypper se -si vulkan
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

S  | Name             | Type    | Version      | Arch   | Repository           
---+------------------+---------+--------------+--------+----------------------
i  | libvulkan1       | package | 1.2.132-1.2  | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)
i  | libvulkan1-32bit | package | 1.2.132-1.2  | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)
i+ | libvulkan_radeon | package | 19.3.3-241.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

I do not have all of the same set of packages installed as you do, but the libvulkan1 package is the same version number as yours.
Looks like I should include a couple of more packages.

However, I was taking about these 2 entries (related to vulkan):


 # zypper se -si libvk
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

S | Name            | Type    | Version | Arch   | Repository           
--+-----------------+---------+---------+--------+----------------------
i | libvkd3d1       | package | 1.1-1.7 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)
i | libvkd3d1-32bit | package | 1.1-1.7 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

How should I interpret Version 1.1-1.7?

Hi
That is version 1.1, the numbers after the - are revision 1 (the initial submit to openSUSE:Factory/Tumbleweed) and the 7th time it’s rebuilt without the version number (1.1) changing…

If it was updated to 1.2, then it would likely be 1.2-1.1 etc :wink:

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.
