Re: [opensuse] Error with BIND security update



Ysgrifennodd russbucket:
Looks like YaST --> Software Management (I typed bind) will allow you to deinstall them, but I'm not sure what all it would effect since I do not run a Domain Name Server on my system. It downloaded three packages when I updated and it looks like they are separate in YaST.

Weeelll. I've uninstalled bind. I'm not running a name server either as far as I know. YaST didn't seem to be bothered, anyway.

The same goes for bind-chrootenv and bind-libs-32bit (my machine is 64 bit so I can't see why I'd need these). Again YaST seemed perfectly happy: and the box is still going as far as I can tell (I haven't restarted it).

However, YaST really does not want me to uninstall bind-libs or bind-utils. It comes up with all sorts of scarey dependencies - but when I check for updates again, it still says there are updates there for these packages, and still gives me the error message.

Is there something I can do with rpm? I've tried rebuilddb without any luck.

Thanks for the help so far.


Peter
