Description Forgotten User zOWss6Gs9u 2008-06-27 18:29:51 UTC

Executing "zypper -v in smc" it wants to install:
  libSILLY-0.1.0-1.2.x86_64  (openSUSE BuildService - Games, openSUSE Build Service)
  smc-1.5-7.3.x86_64  (openSUSE BuildService - Games, openSUSE Build Service)
  cegui-0.6.0-0.pm.1.x86_64  (Packman Repository, http://packman.links2linux.de)
  libdevil-1.6.8rc2-1.5.x86_64  (openSUSE BuildService - Games, openSUSE Build Service)
  smc-music-addon-4.0-1.4.noarch  (openSUSE BuildService - Games, openSUSE Build Service)

The thing is that smc requires "libCEGUIBase.so.1()(64bit)" and "libCEGUIOpenGLRenderer.so.0()(64bit)". Both cegui from Packman and libcegui from OBS games repository provide them. Since games repository has a higher priority than Packman (games 70 - packman 90) I would expect zypper to select libcegui and no cegui.
At really both packman and games provide smc (and all the needed deps). So I don't understand why zypper has selected smc, and other deps from games... but cegui from packman.

It's because you have "libfreeimage3" in the weak-keep-uninstalled list. I don't know how it made it into this list, you probably deselected it at some time.
(There may also be a bug in the UI that makes it put un-recommended packages on this list)

Just edit /var/lib/zypp/SoftLocks with your favorite editor.

The secret weak-keep-uninstalled list? ;-)
Yeah, I played a little with YaST when the 11.0 release. I could very easily deselect it to see the effect.
I suppose this list is the same that the locks file but only taking effect if there is an alternative package?

I don't see how to verify if there is such a bug ("un-recommended packages on
this list"). So on my part the bug can be closed.

Ok, closing. Thanks.

No, the list contains recommended(-but-not-required) packages that you decided to deselect or remove. The list is then used to prevent autoselecting of such packages for installation again in the future.
