Description joerg reisenweber 2007-10-08 02:26:04 UTC

when i have a local RPM binary which i view via konqueror+krpmview, i click on button "install via Yast". 
Yast installer starts up, but does not install the local version, instead it downloads higher version number of the package from online repository and installs this one.
This is not the expected behaviour, and stopps installing of older versions of a package.

To reproduce, download attached URL and open file with konqueror.

/opt/kde3/share/apps/krpmview/setup_temp_source creates a temporary repository with the file within and then installs from all repositories the highest package version. :-|

I see. That's a design bug.

One way out would be to tell the libzypp resolver that we require the exact version+release of the clicked RPMs. That is possible with zypper but not with "yast2 -i". I'll look whether we have a Pkg bingding for it.

Comment 3 Martin Vidner 2007-10-26 15:56:12 UTC

OK, we do have
/usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-pkg-bindings/html/Resolvable_ResolvableInstallArchVersion.html in yast2-pkg-bindings-devel-doc.rpm (BTW Lukas I could not find an online reference).

So it should be straightforward to implement.

(Implementation note: remember not to collide with bug 222757 comment 10)

This bug has been open for long but I haven't found the to fix it,
so now I close it. Sorry.

If you still care about it, please reopen it.

(I think PackageKit should be invoked instead of yast2 --install)
