We will provide an online update patch for yast2-ncurses-pkg. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Retrieving yast2-ncurses-pkg... Downloading delta RPM ./rpm/i586/yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.16.13_2.16.14-4.1_0.1.i586.delta.rpm

Error Download failed: File './rpm/i586/yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.16.13_2.16.14-4.1_0.1.i586.delta.rpm' not found on medium

well..... too bad. maybe the servers arent in a stable and constistent state yet. i only use the official opensuse 11.0 updates repository. if the xml/repodata stuff tells the updater modules that this "yast2 ncurses" stuff is available, why does it fail during download. it seems that there are many areas in the updater mechanisms that need fixage and enhancements to give the users a better and consistent failsafe experience. cheers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And an X update was transferred in between, which lead to a respectable interval of ~2 minutes between availability of metadata and availability of yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.16.13_2.16.14-4.1_0.1.i586.delta.rpm. This surely hits quite many people. I am working on a fix. I also want to solve a similar (but different) issue that can arise. During the time of client metadata download and package download (spent with parsing of metadata and user interaction), it can happen that metadata and packages are replaced. This does *not* happen in the update tree though; there are no deletions. But it affects the build service and Factory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
