Created attachment 314791 [details] solver testcase
You are looking for patches, and then searching/installing for packages Does the kernel showup in zypper lu ?
For some reason the patch is not being shown as needed or relevant. Sadly 11.1 does not have zypper lp -a
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?
It's not being shown is a fact, see the report :-) bash# zypper lp Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status ---------------------+------------------------+---------+-------------+------- openSUSE-11.1-Update | MozillaFirefox | 1202 | security | Needed openSUSE-11.1-Update | curl | 1232 | security | Needed openSUSE-11.1-Update | freetype2 | 794 | security | Needed openSUSE-11.1-Update | libfreebl3 | 1201 | security | Needed openSUSE-11.1-Update | libtiff-devel | 1176 | security | Needed openSUSE-11.1-Update | release-notes-openSUSE | 1206 | recommended | Needed [That's it, no kernel]
Yes, but I was talking about the test case and Duncan asked about 'zypper -lu'.
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).
Did you enable multiversion installation for the kernel? If yes this is a duplicate of #531899.
I am using multiversion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 531899 ***
