New Installation will not update

New Installation will not update
Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:46:01 GMT
I just recently loaded  a copy of Linus Suse 10.1  that I purchased a
few months ago in hopes of finding an operating system that would not
constantly crash on a Dell PC that I had wiped clean - can't seem to
get any of the update patches to load - indicated 400 updates that
should be installed, but get the message "RESOLVING DEPENDENCIES" 
and
then get the message that "DEPENDENCY RESOLUTION FAILED"  with the
following detail:

Establishing
script:libzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates]
This would invalidate
script:libzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates].
Marking this resolution attempt as invalid.

Need help in understanding what is needed to resolve this issue and be
able to proceed with LINUX learning......

Thanks

* jledlow01,

the software management in 10.1 and 10.2 was a disaster. I'd download 10.3 if I
were you.

I installed 10.3 in a friend's machine, and I cannot make it update the
kernel either (the rest of the updates are OK!).

It downloads the files, but when installing it claims that there is not
enough space in /boot (which isn't true, 12gb in / partition).

I tried both yast and smart. Same story.
Any ideas?

G,

did you restart after the updates?
This was a known problem in the release candidates, so maybe if you updated to
the latest libzypp, it will work after a reboot.

Hi Uwe, yes, I did, it would boot the old (original) kernel.
The initrd file is not there in /boot and grub's menu.lst file is not
touched either.

So strange...
First time in *many* installs. We even reinstalled it all over again, same
story.

I will suggest this, thank you.
