Bugzilla – Bug 140493
YOU and System-Update dont work together regarding kernelupdates
Last modified: 2005-12-22 22:20:22 UTC
Everytime i start System-Update it wants to install the original kernel (und modules). I have to force Systemupdate not to change anything regarding those both rpms. If i let Yast install those rpms onlineupdates detects security updates and installes the new kernel. Thats silly :-) actually i use kernel 2.6.13.15-7, system-update wants to install 2.6.13.15 (from CD,DVD,FTP, not matter from which source). I had this problem in earlier versions too, no matter if they were freshly installed or updated. This problem only occurs if a KDE-supplementary update is installed (acutally KDE3.5.0x) I can provide more detailed information if needed, but dont know where to look for which information you may need. Sorry for my bad english :-) Christian
Then this might be a problem with the KDE update, I'll take the KDE-maintainers into CC.
Don't run system-update in this case. Its purpose is to bring the system to a defined state. If you want to install kde3.5, add it as an installation source and proceed with normal "software management"

mhhh, i cannot see any coherence between the both bugs (#140496 refers to sth with qt, style, etc). but maybe i'm wrong? @Klaus: I understand that systemupdate isn't the correct tool for my purpuse. But the systemupdate is much easier than the way you showed me. It think it might be a good idea to combine the existing software tools and provide a easy upgrade possbility.
