Description Adrian Schröter 2008-04-16 05:44:58 UTC
When doint a zypper update -t package, it does currently fail for me, because libncurses5 get not installed early enough.

Dunno if this is a packaging bug.

zypper output, installation order
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2008-04-16 06:57:47 UTC
Sorry, but factory updates with -t package are never blocker bugs. For one we added distribution-upgrade for a reason.

Check if you have a recent /var/log/updateTestcase/
Comment 3 Adrian Schröter 2008-04-16 07:13:46 UTC
This directory does not exist for me.

I simply used the -t package update way due to old usage. 

I run dist-upgrade now and it updates, without refreshing the repo data, quite some more packages.
Comment 4 Michael Schröder 2008-04-16 08:06:04 UTC
Besides being unsupported, there seems to be an issue in the installation order anyway. I don't see why libncurses5 didn't get installed early enough. Maybe there's a dependency cycle, please ask autobuild for the output of check_for_cycles.
Comment 5 Adrian Schröter 2008-04-17 08:18:44 UTC
The same thing happened also for Stefan Binner, who used the supported(?) "dup" update path.
Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2008-04-17 08:25:30 UTC
I never said it's supported, I just said your way is unsupported :)

But Binner should have a /var/log/updateTestcase now

updateTestcase

Not sure if this can help, I manually installed the missing library and restarted zypper dup so it's likely a testcase after?
