Description Peter Stark 2009-01-31 08:39:19 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-0.1 Firefox/3.0.5

I tried to update a package using zypper:

---
filer:/ # zypper up libasound2
Reading installed packages...
Package 'libasound2' is not installed.
Nothing to do.
---

Zypper claims that the package is not installed. However:
---
filer:/ # zypper se libasound2
Reading installed packages...

filer:/ # rpm -q libasound2
libasound2-1.0.16-39.1
filer:/ # zypper in libasound2
Reading installed packages...
'libasound2' is already installed.
Nothing to do.
---

So, the package is there. Zypper may "wanted" to say that there's no update available. But the package is definitly installed.

Peter

This will probably be in zypper.

Comment 2 Jan Kupec 2009-07-31 12:44:55 UTC

this also happens in 11.1 (bug 524625).

Hi. Seems this works in 11.2 with zypper 1.2.8 and higher. Thanx for reporting!
