Worse, YOU does not keep the patches on the HD: they are deleted, even if you tell YOU to keep them.
Do you have a Bugzilla-ID for that? If you aren't aware of one, and cannot find one, would you mind filing this as a bug?
This has been reported and ignored dozens of times, mainly in the lists. I have tried to find it in bugzilla for 10.1. but bugzilla search does not find /ANY/ bug related to YOU in 10.1 in any state. I had to do a long search instead; for instance: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191021 This one is marked as a duplicate of "bug 188543", but I'm given "You are not authorized to access bug #188543" It has been reported for ages. :-/ ¡The solution has been to remove the feature in 10.2! Good grief! :-/ What another feature broken in YOU? In 10.2 it doesn't report how big will be the download, it always says "zero". This was broken in 10.1 too, then solved, then 10.2 came with that broken again. But this is a trifle compared with the deleted patches after download. In 9.3 we simply had to backup a directory under /var (/var/lib/YaST2/mnt/i386/update or /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update, I don't remember) that kept all the patches we had downloaded with YOU to a DVD. On a new install, one only needed to copy those files over to the appropriate dir (always the same dir), fire up YOU, and it would happily reuse those files instead of downloading the hundreds of megabytes again. In 10.1 this disappeared. There was a tick box to "keep downloaded patches" or something, but it did not work. Instead of repairing it, in 10.2 it has been removed. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
