Description Dirk Mueller 2008-12-11 14:09:47 UTC

there are two packages installed: 

kdebase3 = 3.5.10

and kdebase4-runtime = 4.1.3, which provides kdebase3 = 3.5.1 (note the missing zero)

and 

"zypper rm kdebase3" selects both(!) for deinstallation, thereby deinstalling all of KDE4. this is not what the user intended. 

"zypper rm kdebase3" should be equivalent to "zypper rm kdebase3 = 3.5.10".

No. It should request removal of the package by name, if package with such name exists.

There is a duplicate out there, i will try to find it.

To work around the problem, use the -n switch in the install command.

Re command #7,can it be closed ?

Comment 9 Jan Kupec 2010-02-04 09:18:37 UTC

Jesse, actually the right component is 'libzypp', but you don't have to worry about that. I take it you reassigned the bug by accident, so i'm reassigning it back to me.

Nope, the bug is still there, AFAIK. But it should be fixed soon (month or so).

Fixed in zypper 1.4.2
