Description Ulrich Windl 2006-10-17 11:39:48 UTC
When installing my own patch CD (DVD), Yast did not install all updates, and it did not restart Yast automatically as it does for a true network online update.
I had to apply the patch CD a second time to get all the remaining updates installed.
Yast should either install all updates, or it should bring a message that a restart is required.

Thank you for reporting this bug. Could you post here also the yast log files:
/var/log/YaST2/y2log and y2start.log , please? We need more information to identify the problem. Thank you.

The needed information should be in the two log files provided.

Patch CD Update runs /sbin/yast2 online_update '.cd_default' & -> jsuchome

I think the restart of yast on installed was fixed already (bug #184452)
- do you remember what version of yast2-online-update did you have before running that CD update? Was it your first update of the system?


The fixed version should be 2.13.43, I'm not sure but I think it was released in the second libzypp update stack. 

By reading of the logs, it looks like you were updating it from version 2.13.40 to 2.13.43, so the fix could not be working yet.

Recently when I had tried it, it had said that Yast needed to be restarted, but On the weekend I happened to do a patch CD update with a freshly installed 10.1 (original Novell/SUSE media): I think after about the third restart of YaST, the first non-Yast patches had been installed, and I think the message about Yast to be restarted appeared about after the second "Online Update from DVD".
Can't the first update of YaST pull in all the required updates, and, assuming that the Yast updates are installed before the others, can't it all be done with one update? Eventually it would be better to actually restart YaST rather than saying it has to be restarted.

That was the sad situation of package management stuff in 10.1. Hopefully 10.2 gets better.

> Can't the first update of YaST pull in all the required updates, ...

I'd say it could (logically), but that was also one of the bug - that it couldn't. IHMO it was caused by some rug or zypp problems, I'm not sure. The 3-restart experience is also described in bug #184452.

I hope the YaST get really restarted after presenting that message. This was inlcuded in 2.13.43 fix.
