sure, but how does this resolve the specific zypper update problem? You either choose not to update or you decide to update. If you update, you will be burned, if there was a bad package. If you do not update, you are not burned but you are "behind". Being burned now, I chose to not blindly trust the updater, instead wait a few days, if something bad turns up. This way, I will likely not be burned easily, but I also will need to bear the risk to live longer without security fixes. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
