comparable package can be found, all packages are considered and the “best”
update candidate is selected according to the following criteria:
1. Repository priority: Prefer the package from the repository with the highest
priority.
2. If more than one package results from this selection, choose the one with
the “best” architecture (best choice: matching the architecture of the in-
stalled one; otherwise: x86_64 > i686 > i586).
If the resulting package has a higher version number than the installed one,
the installed package will be updated and replaced with the selected update
candidate.
This option tries to avoid changes in architecture and vendor for the installed
packages, but under certain circumstances, they are tolerated.
NOTE: Update Unconditionally
If you choose Package > All Packages > Update Unconditionally instead,
basically the same criteria apply but any candidate package found is in-
stalled unconditionally. Thus, choosing this option might actually lead to
downgrading some packages.
2 To make sure that the packages for a mass update derive from a certain
repository:
2a Choose the repository from which to update as described in Sec-
tion 5.2.1, “Views for Searching Packages or Patterns” (page 81) .
2b On the right hand side of the window, click Switch system packages
to the versions in this repository. This explicitly allows YaST to change
the package vendor when replacing the packages.
As soon as you proceed with Accept, all installed packages will be
replaced by packages deriving from this repository, if available. This
may lead to changes in vendor and architecture and even to down-
grading some packages.
2c To refrain from this, click Cancel switching system packages to the
versions in this repository. Note that you can only cancel this until
you press the Accept button.
3 Before applying your changes, you can review or modify them by clicking
View > Installation Summary. By default, all packages that will change status,
are listed.
4 If all options are set according to your wishes, conrm your changes with Ac-
cept to start the mass update.
