<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">"rpm -ivh file.rpm" attempts the installation, but gives no dependency resolution beyond telling you which dependencies are missing.<br>
<br>
"yast -i file.rpm" will attempt dependency resolution<br>
<br>
"yast sw_single" will give a menu driven system to search, install, remove, etc.. packages from installed packages and available repos.<br>
<br>
zypper is a commandline utility that can be used to do most everything that the above menu driven system can do (zypper search, zypper list-updates, zypper install, zypper update, etc..)<br>

Subject: [ale] zypper vs yast2 vs rpm installs on SLES/Open Suse<br>
<div><div class="h5"><br>
Friends:<br>
<br>
What is the difference between<br>
<br>
zypper<br>
<br>
yast2<br>
<br>
yast<br>
<br>
rpm<br>
<br>
based installs ?<br>
<br>
When to use what and what are pure command line options ?<br>
<br>
For example if Firewall had to allow certain services I could not do it in one line. I had to navigate menus to do it.<br>
<br>
Also comparing to Ubuntu, there are the regular repos and the ppa's. Isnt there a similar concept in SLES / Open SUSE ?<br>
<br>
Can we mix and match repos between SLES and OpenSuse ? and what about between minor version say between 11.1 and 11.4 ?<br>
