Well to that I'll say, that I use the information mentioned on this URL:
... For example, I'd use:
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %35{PACKAGER}\n" | sort | less -S
which produces an rpm list ordered by install date with some data fields; the last one identifies the packager, which could help you identify them.

Hi Carlos
Not sure if this warrants another thread - apologies if you think it should ...
I've been watching this thread with great interest following my earlier "[SLE] Session management error" thread to which you contributed. My system has returned to a "flaky" state (YaST2 hangs when refreshing any mirror site other than Packman ...)
It may appear to hang when it actually just takes a very long time to refresh. On my laptop I start up Software Management and walk away for about 10 minutes because it takes so long.
Ken, valid point, and I did consider that I was expecting too much! But, until the w/e, refresh from all of the mirror sites I was accessing was 'almost' instant. In this case Software Management required a 'Forced Quit' as Abort was inactive. Similarly, I could directly access the mirror sites by http/ftp without any pause. Hence, I rationalised that the problem was internal (conflict with some 'reference' table ???) rather than external (i.e. everybody access the same mirror sites as me a the same time ...).
