NAME
       locks - libzypp locking file

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  /etc/zypp/locks  is  read by libzypp at startup if zypp.conf
       allows it. The entries are used for initial locking of packages.	 Lock‐
       ing  a  package	means  not  allowing to install or uninstall it. Valid
       entries are

	attribute: value
	      Where attributes and their values are described below.
	      Locks are separated by empty lines.

ATTRIBUTES
       All attributes are lower-case.

       repo   specifies repository restriction. Only alias is accepted.
	      By default all repositories match.

       type   resolvable type restriction
	      The values can be package, patch, pattern, product and  srcpack‐
	      age.
	      By default all types match.

       case_sensitive
	      if  strings  are	matched	 case sensitive.  The values are true,
	      false, on, off.
	      The default is case insensitive.

       install_status
	      status of object. Possible states are  installed,	 not-installed
	      and  all.	 If  more install statuses are specified then the last
	      one is used.
	      The values are installed for all packages which  are  installed,
	      non-installed for packages which can be installed or reinstalled
	      and all for both.
	      The default is all.

       match_type
	      type of string matching in values. Does not affect type and repo
	      which must be specified exactly.
	      The  values are exact, substring, regex for regular expressions,
	      glob for matching as on the command line, and word.
	      The default is substring.

       query_string
	      String  to  be  matched  in  multiple  attributes.   Should   be
	      restricted  by another attribute with empty value ( it is recom‐
	      mended, because  without	restriction  expect  some  performance
	      problems ).

       version
	      Restrict	the lock only to some versions. It contains two parts:
	      an optional operator and the version.
	      The operator is ==,!=,<,>,<=,>=. If operator  is	not  specified
	      then == is used.
	      The version has the format [epoch:]version[-release].
	      Example: version: < 0:0.11.4-2

       solvable_name
	      name of object (e.g. zypper)

       solvable_summary
	      summary of object

       solvable_arch
	      architecture of object (e.g. x86_64, i586)

       solvable_description
	      description of object

       solvable_eula
	      license text of objects which request accepting license by user

       solvable_license
	      license of package (only for package) (e.g. GPL2)

       solvable_keywords
	      keywords which specify package (only for package)

       solvable_authors
	      authors of package (only for package)

       solvable_group
	      package group (only for package) (e.g. Development/Tools/Version
	      Control )

       update_reference_type
	      reference for update (e.g. bugzilla,cve) (only for patches)

EXAMPLES
       Exact Package
	      This is the way YaST UI does it. Lock k3b (e.g. you  don't  want
	      to update it).
	      -----locks-----
	      type: package
	      solvable_name: k3b
	      match_type: exact
	      case_sensitive: on

       Package Wildcard
	      This  is	the  way "zypper addlock cross-*-gcc-icecream-backend"
	      does it.
	      -----locks-----
	      type: package
	      solvable_name: cross-*-gcc-icecream-backend
	      match_type: glob
	      case_sensitive: on

       Versioned Lock
	      Do not install new GCC. This format is used when converting from
	      the openSUSE-10.3 lock format.
	      -----locks-----
	      solvable_name: gcc
	      match_type: glob
	      version: > 4.2

       Anything named KDE
	      Locks everything which contains kde in the name.
	      -----locks-----
	      solvable_name: kde

       Anything mentioning KDE
	      Locks  everything	 which	contains  kde in the name, summary, or
	      description.
	      -----locks-----
	      query_string: kde
	      solvable_name:
	      solvable_summary:
	      solvable_description:
