Add option --allow-obsolete to zypper
Last modified: 2024-07-17 13:31:57 UTC
Very often for me a `zypper dup` operation fails for me because the dependencies of some packages still require an obsolete package. ```` Problem: 1: the installed libcholmod3-3.0.12-150100.9.2.3.x86_64 requires 'libopenblas_pthreads.so.0()(64bit)', but this requirement cannot be provided deleted providers: libopenblas_pthreads0-0.3.25-150500.4.5.2.x86_64 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: deinstallation of hipsolver-2.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of hipsolver-devel-2.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of rocm-hip-libraries-6.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of rocm-hip-sdk-6.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of rocm-ml-libraries-6.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of rocm-ml-sdk-6.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 deinstallation of rocm-6.1.1.60101-sles154.90.x86_64 Solution 2: keep obsolete libopenblas_pthreads0-0.3.25-150500.4.5.2.x86_64 Solution 3: break libcholmod3-3.0.12-150100.9.2.3.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c): ```` It would be great if we had an option to always take the "keep obsolete" solution. Especially for automated updates or for cases where this applies to lots of packages (like in #1214303). I think keeping a few obsolete packages is preferable to not updating everything else or breaking or removing something.
