Comment 2 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2009-08-24 11:33:11 UTC

You are looking for patches, and then searching/installing for packages

Does the kernel showup in zypper lu ?

Comment 3 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2009-08-24 11:59:55 UTC

For some reason the patch is not being shown as needed or relevant.

Sadly 11.1 does not have zypper lp -a

Comment 4 Michael Schröder 2009-08-24 12:20:17 UTC

Well, the testcase doesn't help at all, as the kernel patch is shown as needed.
Duncan, why did you say that it's not being shown? Can you reproduce the bug?

Comment 5 Michal Svec 2009-08-24 12:46:28 UTC

It's not being shown is a fact, see the report :-)

bash# zypper lp

[That's it, no kernel]

Comment 6 Michael Schröder 2009-08-24 12:49:16 UTC

Yes, but I was talking about the test case and Duncan asked about 'zypper -lu'.

Comment 7 Michal Svec 2009-08-24 13:14:47 UTC

It is showing up in 'zypper lu':

bash$ zypper lu|grep kernel
v | openSUSE-11.1-Update | kernel-default | 2.6.27.29-0.1.1 | x86_64
[...]

And the patch even seems to be there:

bash$ zypper if -t patch kernel|grep 2.6.27
Summary: Linux Kernel: Security/Bugfix update to 2.6.27.29

It's not offered for update (patch).

Comment 8 Michael Schröder 2009-09-09 15:06:20 UTC

Did you enable multiversion installation for the kernel? If yes this is a duplicate of #531899.

Comment 9 Michal Svec 2009-09-10 07:40:27 UTC

I am using multiversion.
