[opensuse-factory] Why I hate package manager in 10.1 3 hours 30 minutes to check dependentcies.

I would like to report why I object to 10.1 package manager.  I just
finished with the first CD (CD1).  I tried to upgrade a production 10.0
server.  I choose the upgrade option.  It complained about not being able
to reslove them and had to have manual intervention.  It would bring up
conflicts one at a time with 30 seconds to 3.5 minute wait between them.
It took over 3 hours and 30 minutes just to review the conflicts.  It then
took an other hour after I tried to re-add back selections that were
removed.  Most of the time I had to click unlock and check again.

This makes the upgrade totally not an option.  I will stay with 10.0 on
the other 30 systems I have control over.   I do not have the time to try
and do this for each and every system.  The old package manager I could be
done fixing the conflicts in 10-30 minutes depending on the system.  This
system was one I thought would be the easiest to upgrade.  I thought I had
better warn others.

I used y2pmsh instead. Very comfortably at the "solving" stage.

Does it run from the install dvd automatically, when doing the upgrade?

No. Just from within the old system.

Christoph had posted a sample session in february.

Oh, my :-(

I have never upgraded a full system that way.

Could you be more precise? I wasn't watching this list then. Title of the 
email, for instance...

I went through all of Feb and the first of March and could not find it.  I
would like to see the post.  I did find one reference to using y2pmsh
upgrade.

Since I came from other apt-based systems, I'm very comfortable with
Smart Package Manager. I could manage to get two 10.0 laptops, with Guru
and Packman packages, upgrading to 10.1 within 5min of "Resolving
dependencies". It removed about 4 conflicting packages, but I was able
to reinstall them after 30m (upgraded from DVD). No worries at all.

What is the magic you used?

I have tried

smart upgrade
smart --gui

The sources I want to use are

/local/suse/suse/i386/10.1/stable/inst-source
/local/suse/suse/i386/10.1/stable/non-oss-inst-source
ftp://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.1
http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.1

I tried to add them and I get some channel error.  Does this also work for
older suse OS's?

On 10.0 all I get is No interesting upgrades available and it will not
allow me to add the above sources.  They are what I use for 10.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I got the local sources added.  I clicked on the update ! in the graphical
and it has now been 8 hours and the window will not refresh.  I do see the
CPU and time growing with ps -ef

root 20072 1 86 13:47 ?06:25:16 /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/smart --gui

So I think it may be updating or getting ready to update the system.

Thanks,
