In YaST2 Online Update I am seeing 2, or 3 entires for the same package for just about every package and they are all checked for installation.

Please attach y2logs. If you are in doubt follow:

Thanks!

So you ask me to attach my y2logs but then your system won't accept them. I get this:

"File Too Large

The file you are trying to attach is 9362 kilobytes (KB) in size. Non-patch attachments cannot be more than 5120 KB.
We recommend that you store your attachment elsewhere on the web, and then insert a link to it in a comment, or in the URL field for this bug. Alternately, if your attachment is an image, you could convert it to a compressible format like JPG or PNG and try again."

When you ask for additional information you should accept what you ask for. You tell me to alternately put it someplace on the web so you can grab it. What if I didn't have someplace on the web to put it so you could grab it? In this case I do, but not everyone does. Very poor system you have here.

Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2007-03-21 18:51:09 UTC
Looks like the UI issue.
Comment 4 Stefan Hundhammer 2007-03-22 10:30:42 UTC
The UI uses selectables. If there are multiple selectables for the same object, that would be a libzypp issue.
Comment 5 Michael Andres 2007-03-28 11:25:14 UTC
This should be fixed with libzypp-1.3.2, which is available as update.

Comment 7 Curtis J Blank 2007-03-28 16:33:26 UTC
You closed this prematurely, I have libzypp-1.3.2 and I have the problem, so that says it is not fixed in that version.

I have libzypp-1.3.2-0.9 installed and all multiple instances of each patch is checked for installation.

See the attached jpg.
Comment 8 Michael Andres 2007-04-03 11:42:09 UTC
The actual bug was that upon installation of a patch, an already installed old version of this patch was not deleted.

The UI displays 1 line for each installed item. So if you see 5 entries for 'Seamonkey: security update to 1.0.8', it is beacause 5 Seamonkey patches were already installed on your system (not because 5 new patches are available).

Selecting the avilable new patch, all 5 installed old version are tagged to be updated (confusing but consequent).


Not 5 patches are being installed, but 1 Patch replacing 5 installed patches.


If you now install the new patch with libzypp-1.3.2, the 5 old entries will be deleted, and the next time you should see just 1 entry.
