Upgrade of one package install ALL available updates.

[poetaster]

This is undesirable. I had chosen a package with a new version, pulled down update and all packages were installed.

Seems to be PackageKit issue. Please check with pkcon and file an issue in PackageKit repo. Would be great to have a reference to that issue here as well.

Although this is a "duplicate" of storeman-developers/harbour-storeman#96 , Rinigus' comment advises the right thing to do.

Our version of PackageKit is not current, if I'm not mistaken. we are at 1.1.13 and current is 1.2.5. According to current documentation:
Update the system by installing available updates. If a list of packages is specified, only install updates for these packages.

I don't have any means to test this but hesitate to file a bug report there.

[poetaster]

Ah, it just occured to me, die you guys mean upstream https://github.com/sailfishos/PackageKit-Qt ?

"Our" = on SailfishOS? You can take a look at PackageKit on many Linux distributions, it is installed by default on ?buntu, should be available for Debian and may be available for OpenSUSE and Fedora / RHEL (well, zypper, dnf are so much nicer, but front-ends only for RPM), too.

According to current documentation: Update the system by installing available updates. If a list of packages is specified, only install updates for these packages.

Which and where? Can you please provide a link to this quote.

For me it sounds like a quote from pkcon man-page for update [PACKAGES]. This is merely the front-end. I assume that this bug is rather in libpackagekit etc., the "middle-ware" between pkcon and the various supported back-ends (libzypp being one of them and IIRC the one used for Sailfish OS).

I don't have any means to test this but hesitate to file a bug report there.

Maybe there is already one?
I have never searched, because a certain libsolv0 bug bugs me more, and I fail to file it for > 1,5 years.

No, definitely not that one, and also not the GTK one, but the CLI front-end pkcon and the "middle-ware" libpackagekit at IIRC freedesktop.org.

Note that "Upgrade of one package install ALL available updates." is not always the case, at least not with pkcon and Storeman.

I'll look into this but first: libpackagekit

I looked. Apparently not. But I may have missed it and will revisit.

I'll keep an eye out for this in parallel.

Yes. Now it's a pitty we don't have that source. However, maybe it's time for a forum question?

???
You do not know what it is yet, right?

It was recently documented at FSO, but originally for Storeman: storeman-developers/harbour-storeman#108 (comment)
I am pretty sure it is libsolv0's fault by logic (it is the component performing the resolving), but have not technically traced it to libsolv0 (and may never do, with or without getting around to report it).

[poetaster]

???

NO. And the rabbit hole yeilds only, more hole :) But that's beside the point. I meant that I would look up libsolv0 and look up issue in the sense of research. Frankly, I think this is one of those 'things' that 'just goes away'. But that's what I say about anything I don't entirely understand.

[…] Frankly, I think this is one of those 'things' that 'just goes away'. But that's what I say about anything I don't entirely understand.

This hope (that some "thing just goes away") is also the approach of the lazy; me in this case.
Didn't work within the last three years, unfortunately; I suppose I just have not been waiting long enough. 😉

BTW, the same (3 years and counting) applies to the original issue of this thread, "Updating or installing a single package often installs ALL available updates.", see storeman-developers/harbour-storeman#96.
