Sorry but this is invalid, Apper/KPackageKit both can offer you to uninstall a conflicting package (which is what happens with aptcc backend). The problem is that your backend simply don't handle that correctly, please fill a bug report agains the zypper packagekit backend. |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux KPackageKit just fails when it sees a conflict in a package to be installed. It does not offer to uninstall the offending package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Make sure gcc 4.5 is installed. 1. Tell Dolphin to open libgcc46-4.6.0_20110505-14.1.x86_64.rpm (built for openSUSE 11.4). 2. Tell KPackageKit to install the package. Actual Results: 1. KPackageKit asks whether to install the package. 2. KPackageKit cannot install the package because of a conflict: libgcc1 is provided by both libgcc45 and libgcc46. Expected Results: 2. Let KPackageKit offer to uninstall gcc 4.5 (and cascade). Workaround: { zypper in libgcc46-4.6.0_20110505-14.1.x86_64.rpm; } This bug was: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718928 Reproducible: Didn't try Actual Results: Expected Results:
