Zypper-Apper???

Hi!
openSUSE 13.2, 64bit and KDE.

I have a question, when I have booted lately, got network connection back I got a notice of upgrades.Even if I have just rebooted after a zypper dup. When I click on it the large Apper window shows up and I get confused (my laptop DE does not act like this). Lets see about Apper,
-total DL size 396.4MB
-among others packages want to install KDE update to 14.12.1 (KDE 4.14.5 installed)

Ok, why not click and let Apper run then?

Does not Apper using the same base/info as Zypper? Well It can be my fault that I have a lock on DigiKam 4.4.0 in YaST2/software. Or do I have managed to made a mess again:. No I don’t use Apper normally and I don’t suffer from above. Just curious…

You are comparing apples and oranges. appr is showing updates zypper dup is showing upgrade. zypper up is closer to what appr does. zypper dup should only be used to change distribution versions not to do upgrades (unless you are running tumbleweed and if you are you should under stand this stuff)

You probably have package groups that are installed from two or more repos thus have a version numbering problem.

Without seeing what repos you have it is hard to say. It is best to stick with a mimum number of repos and be sure when install complex apps that all parts come from the same repos (vendor)

Interesting. Zypper Dup and Zypper up shows (almost) the same thing:

Zypper shows the amount of Dl data to 137MB.

Lets see from the orginal post, -396,4MB in Apper including a older KDE version (of 259.4MB) when a newer versions is already installed gives… 137.0 MB witch is what Zypper xxx’s says.

As the conflict as acually caused by a “patch” from the update repo, so you should try “zypper patch” instead.

The problem is probably that you installed digikam (or some subpackages) from KDE:Extra though.
“zypper patch” should allow you to resolve that conflict, or if you use digikam from KDE:Extra you could just “taboo” the patch in YaST->Online Update (note: the patch on the left side, not the package(s) on the right side)
