greetings all,
just wonder, whether anybody came across the following weirdness as well:
yesterday i ran a ‘zypper up’ and my distro upgraded some 308 packages … there were a couple of conflicts which i decided to fix today via yast, and yast seems to, basically, (re-)do the entire upgrade … are zypper and yast competing, supplementing or undoing each other? … theo :?
In the backend Yast and Zypper are basically the same. They use the same data.
Show us you repos
zypper lr -d

What a yast update does is equivalent to zypper patch, not zypper up.
A zypper up is similar to what yast does when you tell it to update to
newer versions, but it does so on the displayed rpms, not all. I think you
would have to show all installed and available rpms in the window, and then
select to update to newer versions everything.

You have 2 active packman repos. You should only have one.
Personally I use Yast and the switching feature with a bit of manual management to do all my updates.
Can I just draw this back to folks attention
Quick notice about zypper dup
Personally I use yast when I am tired and zypper when I am refreshed. In my opinion zypper & yast,for me, are the same thing, you can download, upgrade, update, install with them.
