How to upgrade mono on openSuse

2
votes

I have a virtual machine running of openSuse 11.2 that has mono 2.6.4, I use this VM as a test server to test asp.net applications under Apache mod_mono.

I wanted to upgrade (in the same virtual machine) to mono 2.8.2. I downloaded several rpm files from http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/openSUSE_11.2/i586/ but I'm in a dependency "loop", don't know which package to install in the correct order...

(Did I mention that I know very little of suse?)

Edit: Is it possible to find a way to upgrade it without network connectivity?

Thanks!

I think this question belongs elsewhere. Maybe in Unix & Linux or Superuser. – Wagner Maestrelli
My SuSE days are long gone, but from what I remember: Are you using Yast to install the RPM, or the rpm command line utility? Maybe adding the packages with cirular dependencies to your question would be helpful. – Patrick Echterbruch
@Wagner You are right, this question belongs to Unix & Linux stackexchange, I created it there: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/6488/… Can I remove it from here? – jorgebg
There is an option to migrate a question to another Stack Exchange site, so the votes and stuff are kept. But I think you got to have enough reputation to do so. Since this is a new question without any votes and answers, I suppose there is no problem in deleting it. – Wagner Maestrelli
Ops, seems you got yourself an answer! :) Maybe you should keep it here... well, it's up to you! – Wagner Maestrelli

Go to this page at opensuse.org and click "1-Click Install" button on mono-complete-2.8.2 meta package. Then all your loop dependencies will be solved automatically by YaST manager.

It is a usual user-friendly way to install packages on openSuSE.
