Instead, it says: "Installation aborted by user": hananiah:~ # zypper in ImageMagick Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW package is going to be installed: ImageMagick 1 new package to install. Overall download size: 4.0 MiB. After the operation, additional 8.3 MiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/?] (y): (1/1) Installing: ImageMagick-6.8.6.7-1.3 ...........................................................................................<100%>[/] Problem occured during or after installation or removal of packages: Installation aborted by user Please see the above error message for a hint. The true reason is that "rpm -i" fails: hananiah:~ # rpm -i /var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-oss/suse/x86_64/ImageMagick-6.8.6.7-1.3.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/packages/ImageMagick/www/api/MagickCore/exception_8h.html;52247155: cpio: link error: ImageMagick-6.8.6.7-1.3.x86_64: install failed This is a regression from a previous version, which said: Installation of ImageMagick-6.8.6.7-1.2 failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/packages/ImageMagick/www/api/MagickCore/exception_8h.html;521386cc: cpio: link error: ImageMagick-6.8.6.7-1.2.x86_64: install failed Although still not ideal, the previous behaviour was much easier to debug. See bnc 835695 if you wonder why installation fails in the first place.
