Is it only on my system, or is it necessary to identify the repository by URL, and not by name? Oh, I just see, the zypper "Alias" is *not* the yast2 package name ... The alias is initially the URL, unless explicitly specified ... zypper renamerepo http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/ Packman -> renames "Packman Repository" into alias Packman.

RPM is a lower level tool than that, it is more equivalent to dpkg in the debian world. Tools like zypper add the real package management with repositories etc on top of rpm. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Almost. You need to specify the actual package name.

It wasn't intended as a solution to the above. You posted that RPM needs
the packages to be local. I posted to correct that and to allow you, and
others that may not know about the ability to actually download
packages, to learn something new about RPM.
Heck, for a few years, and despite reading the RPM man pages several
times, I still managed to miss this snippet from the RPM man page:
rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version currently exists. The
PACKAGE_FILE may be specified as an ftp or http URL, in which case the package
will be downloaded before being installed. See FTP/HTTP OPTIONS for information
on rpm's internal ftp and http client support.
and that was despite the "FTP/HTTP OPTIONS" being in nice bold letters.

David Bolt
