Description Carlos Robinson 2011-03-14 00:46:06 UTC

I installed this test partition as 11.4 RC1.
Then I upgraded (z. dup) to RC2.
Tonight I upgraded to GM, after changing the repos to 11.4 final, and:

Minas-Anor:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-brand
openSUSE
VERSION = 11.4
Minas-Anor:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.4 RC 1 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.4
CODENAME = Celadon
Minas-Anor:~ # cat /etc/issue
Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 "Celadon" RC 1  - Kernel \r (\l).


Minas-Anor:~ # rpm -qf /etc/issue
openSUSE-release-11.4-1.36.x86_64


In YaST this rpm shows red (after disabling the DVD repo), so I upgrade it, and now the info is correct. How come that zypper dup did not upgrade that important package?

Looking manually, I see several packages in red: cron, cronie... and some are no longer in the repos (cups-drivers). I would put a list if I knew how to list them all.

requested yast logs

Note: Looking at the logs I remembered that this system was previously 11.3, which I upgraded to 11.4 RC1 via DVD upgrade method. I actually did the procedure 4 times, restoring from backup (dd) each time to verify the upgrade procedure. I thought that I had finally done a new install, but looking at the logs I see that I did not.

I mention just in case it is of interest.

According to the log, your CD as well as the factory-snapshot_oss contained the
openSUSE-release-11.4-1.36, while GA (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss) provides openSUSE-release-11.4-1.9.

Almost looks like the CD contained a snapshot, OTOH also unlucky the the GA -release package has a lower version 1.9. 

But I currently don't see something that needs to be fixed in the final release.

Over half a year later there is obviously nothing to solve :-(

(it was not a CD, anyway)

Comment 6 Michael Andres 2011-11-04 15:36:23 UTC

Sorry Carlos, you don't deserve lazy comments. 

It's been nothing to fix _in libzypp_, but..
..the problem of decreasing build numbers is something we learned by this and other reports. Even if if it was not explicitly tracked here. And hopefully build service does a better job for 12.1. 

So 'invalid' was not the proper resolution.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
