java-1_4_2-sun* package conflicts after YOU update
Last modified: 2006-02-15 10:21:56 UTC
YOU wants to update samba 3.0.20-4 to 3.0.20b. 3.1 When the update is complete samba server doesn't work (the clients cannot connect) 3.0.20-4 is newer but string "3.0.20b.3.1" is greater then "3.0.20-4" (because of letter 'b') so YOU wants to downgrade samba 2. YOU wants to update java-1_4_2-sun* pachages from version 1.4.2.06-5 to 1.4.2.10-2.1 (but does not update java-1_4_2-sun-src package). After update I run YaST2->SoftWareManagement is see that the packages java-1_4_2-sun* conflict with each others, tomcat5 and struts-webapps-tomcat packages and YaST recommends to downgrade back to 1.4.2.06- 5. The possible reason: the -src package of Java has no update on server and it's version remains 1.4. 2.06-5
That version numbering looks pretty broken by design to me.
I split the samba part as seperated bug 150756, see http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports ------------------------------------------------------------ When reporting a bug, please use one report for each defect you want to report. Using a single bug report to address several problems at once is really not a good idea because it makes the handling very unhandy. ------------------------------------------------------------ I changed the subject/summary accordingly from "Samba update and Java update" to "java-1_4_2-sun* package conflicts after YOU update"
