Description AL13N 2011-02-26 12:28:23 CET

Description of problem:

i upgraded my alpha which i installed a while back, and i noticed that if i install a kdebase component, that the other aren't pulled in as upgrades...

isn't there a requirement on the identical version of all the KDE 4.6.0 component pacakges? or is that not wanted/required?

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 John Balcaen 2011-02-26 12:44:40 CET

There's no such requires currently indeed and i'm not sure it should be done like this (For the moment only the BR are versionned to ensure packages are built against the correct version).

IMHO, if you want to cherry pick updates you should install each and every one you want. Usually users update using urpmi --auto-update, which pulls any available updates.

Comment 4 AL13N 2011-02-26 19:18:27 CET

that could be true mostly, however, if all the versions work with each other, there is no problem, but i seriously doubt it, though...

I doubt it too, that's why "cherry pick at your own risk" and "use urpmi --auto-update" to update/upgrade the system properly. i.e. it's opt-out, all packages get updated except the ones in skip.list...

indeed, but for releases, this needs to be fixed, because i know this, and you too, but new users don't, and they might just pick only kwrite update program

This is the last time I say this as I am getting tired of repeating myself, users should update/upgrade by doing a full update/upgrade, cherry picking doesn't work unless you know what you're doing and get every needed package (this is the same exact reason we say "don't install cauldron packages on stable releases, they may be built against newer libs and probably wouldn't work or worse, wreck your system"); and cherry picking certainly wouldn't work in a full distro upgrade.
