Description John Veness 2025-10-19 20:08:16 UTC

SUMMARY
When doing a System upgrade and the Confirm Changes window appears because some updates have to be removed, the list of packages is (semi-)repeated underneath.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Wait for a System upgrade is available in when a package will need to be removed
2. Run Discover
3. Browse to Updates
4. Click Update All

OBSERVED RESULT
A Confirm Changes window like the following:
The following packages will be removed by the update:
 - libprotobuf32_0_0 (32.0-2.1)
 - libutf8_range-32_0_0 (32.0-2.1)

in order to install:
 - android-tools (35.0.2-7.5)
 - libphonenumber9 (9.0.14-1.3)
 - libprotobuf-c1 (1.5.2-1.6)
 - openSUSE-release (20251018-3765.1)
 - libprotobuf32_1_0 (32.1-1.1)
 - libutf8_range-32_1_0 (32.1-1.1)
 - android-tools (35.0.2-7.4)
 - libphonenumber9 (9.0.14-1.2)
 - libprotobuf-c1 (1.5.2-1.5)
 - openSUSE-release (20251017-3763.1)

It turns out that the last, near-duplicate, four lines, android-tools (35.0.2-7.4), libphonenumber9 (9.0.14-1.2), libprotobuf-c1 (1.5.2-1.5), openSUSE-release (20251017-3763.1) are the old/current package versions that will be updated, to android-tools (35.0.2-7.5), libphonenumber9 (9.0.14-1.3), libprotobuf-c1 (1.5.2-1.6), openSUSE-release (20251018-3765.1), so I don't know why it's listing them as packages it needs to install.

EXPECTED RESULT
A Confirm Changes window like the following:
The following packages will be removed by the update:
 - libprotobuf32_0_0 (32.0-2.1)
 - libutf8_range-32_0_0 (32.0-2.1)

in order to install:
 - android-tools (35.0.2-7.5)
 - libphonenumber9 (9.0.14-1.3)
 - libprotobuf-c1 (1.5.2-1.6)
 - openSUSE-release (20251018-3765.1)
 - libprotobuf32_1_0 (32.1-1.1)
 - libutf8_range-32_1_0 (32.1-1.1)
