Resolving package dependencies... 3 Problems: Problem: openssh-askpass-6.2p2-0.24.1.x86_64 requires openssh = 6.2p2, but this requirement cannot be provided Problem: hpsa-kmp-default-3.4.6-165.sles11sp3.x86_64 requires kernel(default:drivers_pci_pci-driver) = bf21952a8c267b28, but this requirement cannot be provided Problem: hp-hpwdt-kmp-default-1.3.2_3.0.76_0.11-6.2.x86_64 requires kernel(default:drivers_pci_pci-driver) = bf21952a8c267b28, but this requirement cannot be provided

At what point in the SLES11 SP3 to SP4 upgrade process[1] are you seeing
these errors, at the beginning?

Addressing the first problem, what does “rpm -qa openssh*” report?

As for the second and third problem, is this an HP server by any chance?
If so, which model and which version of any HP Service Pack for ProLiant
(SPP) do you have installed?

HTH.

yes - at the very beginning.

rpm -qa openssh* openssh-6.2p2-0.24.1 openssh-askpass-6.2p2-0.24.1

YES - this is HP Server.
SLES was initially installed from hp_proliant_gen9-sle11sp3-x86_64-1.0

Code:

 rpm -qa openssh*

openssh-6.2p2-0.24.1
openssh-askpass-6.2p2-0.24.1

--------------------[/color]

So I was expecting the openssh version to be different. However grabbing
both the patch files from SUSE Patches I can see the
problem:

–begin–[color=blue]

rpm -qp --provides Downloads/openssh-6.2p2-0.24.1.x86_64.rpm | grep[/color]
openssh
openssh = 6.2p2-0.24.1[color=blue]
rpm -qp --requires Downloads/openssh-askpass-6.2p2-0.24.1.x86_64.rpm[/color]
| grep openssh
openssh = 6.2p2
—end—

The openssh package is offering openssh 6.2p2 but openssh-askpass wants
6.2p2-0.24.1.

Let me ask my SUSE contacts about this.

I don’t have an HP server but I see at
https://drivers.suse.com/hp/HP-ProLiant-Gen9/ they reference a Bootable
Driver Kit for SLES11 SP3 hp_proliant_gen9-sle11sp3-x86_64-2.0-9 so I’m
guessing that may need to be updated.

However on the same page it says that there is no Installation Kit for
SLES11 SP4.

It’s also possible you need to install a (later) HP SPP plus there seems
to be a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4 Supplement for HP Service
Pack for ProLiant 2015.06.0[1].

HTH.

Can I just “break” all this 3 dependencies and go with upgrade to SP4?

Was a resolution ever found for this?
I have an OES11SP3/SLES11SP4 server with the same message when I attempt to install the latest patches.
In my case, it’s a Sun Sunfire X4170 server

Hi there:

I uninstalled all the packages with --force, and then I restared doing the upgrade with the DVD offline.

In the last upgrade window I changed the Grub location to “root from this partition”.
