zypper dup is reinstalling packages every time it is running
Last modified: 2008-11-18 11:29:22 UTC
The last few times I've run 'zypper dup' on my factory installation, it reinstalled a lot packages ( see attached zypper messages). There is only the factory reo configured. So it can't be a conflict between different repos. (Solver testcase attached)
Created attachment 242706 [details] solver testcase
Created attachment 242707 [details] zypper logfile
Created attachment 242708 [details] zypper messages
I can't reproduce this with the sat solver's deptestomatic. Schubi, can you see the bug with libzypp's one?
I cannot reproduce the error too. The testcase does not reflect the state which is shown in the zypper logs. ( The testcase has been made one day later). So could you please try to reproduce the error with included testcase ? Thanks!!!
Created attachment 242807 [details] 2nd testcase No problem creating another testcase Files contained in zypper_files.tar.bz2 first "zypper dup -l |tee zypp.output2" produced zypper.log3 (saying "Yes" to download ) then run zypper dup -l --debug-solver and finally again zypper dup -l ( saying "no" to download), which created zypper.log4
This morning the factory repo is not usable because it is going to be updated to Beta2. But "zypper dup -l" still tries to reinstall even if the action is aborted : File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/standard/' Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: A Reading installed packages... The following packages are going to be reinstalled: tango-icon-theme kdegames4-carddecks-default kdegames4-carddecks-other [...] OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-a4 Overall download size: 168.0 M. No additional space will be used or freed after the operation. Continue? [YES/no]: n

Created attachment 244422 [details] testcase and logfiles with beta2 With beta2 the problem has become much worse :-( . Now zypper will try to reinstall every package when I run zypper dup. The files included in zypper_files_beta2.tar.bz2 are zypper.log.first : logfile of a full reinstall after that the testcase was created and then another zypper dup was started with text output in zypper.output
happens on my system too.
Thanks, that testcase shows the problem. Michael, could you please take over ?

No wonder: the vendor string is empty for all of the packages in the factory repository.
Aha, and what shall I do with this now ? :-) Adrian, can you confirm this. If yes, please close this bug.
Just wait to close the bug until a release of factory with fixed vendor string is synced out ;-)
Created attachment 246411 [details] solver testcase for factory on Oct 10 Todays update of factory doesn't fix the problem. I hope it will be fixed with beta3. Attached archive with testcase, output of zypper and zypper.log for a 2nd run of "zypper dup"
It has been a non defined vendor entry. That should be fixed meanwhile.
