[opensuse] I am trying to understand this behaviour in zypper....
...and without success :-( . I just installed the 32-bit version of 12.2 on my wife's computer and want to now install KDE 4.9.x as well as kernel 3.6.3.7-1 (both of which I have running on my 64-bit computer). I added the ....KDE:/Release/49/.... and the .....Kernel:/stable/standard/ repos in YaST and they were both accepted. Great. Then in a terminal I start zypper and it refreshes all the repositories. Fine, wonderful. I then type in 'zypper patch [or up, which gives the same result]' and it comes back with this error message: linux-ewa1:~ # zypper patch Refreshing service 'Kernel_36-7'. Unexpected exception. Parse error: repoindex.xml[36] Opening and ending tag mismatch: form line 35 and td Please file a bug report about this. See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Troubleshooting for instructions. OK, I thinks, if I now delete at least this Kernel repo then I should at least get zypper to do all the updates (if any) to all the other system files I have installed. So I delete that new entry for the kernel in YaST list of repos. Zypper still insists that there is an error, as above, and will not go beyond this error. Doing 'zypper lr -pu' doesn't show a repo 'Kernel_36-7' - of course not seeing as how I deleted it. So where is zypper finding this repo? Where does it store the list of repos to access so that I can edit that [control] file and get zypper to get past this cockup and do what it is supposed to do? I cannot afford to re-install her system again. Can anyone, please, give me an idea where to look for this control file of zypper's? (I seem to recall that there may be a command in zypper to rebuild the database of repos (or was that for smart or even apt?) but in any case looking at 'man zypper' doesn't give me this information - OK, I may have missed it.)

Thank you, Andreas, but I have already tried this and I get the response that this repo is not found in any shape or size or name (real or alias) :-( .

Aah it's good to have a sense of humour nowadays :-D . Using zypper removeservice produced the same result that there is no such animal called 'Kernel_36-7' :-) . But it does exist in '.../zypp/services.d'. So I renamed it from '/etc/zypp/services.d/services.services' to '......./services.services.old' - but zypper _stil_l found it and spat the dummy! :-) So I moved this file to "another place" and now zypper is back doing what it should be doing - updating my wife's system with some files. Thank you for your help. And I hope that your new responsibilities are as fulfilling as those of the past and that they don't keep you away from your family (I notice that you even post on Sundays now).

Any time I remove a repo I follow up by doing a zypper clean. Sometimes I want multiple machines using the same "latest" kernel. So on these I configure no optional kernel repo, instead zypper installing a kernel previously downloaded to the LAN. The youthful upstart Zypper is much smarter about installing from local packages than Apt, Yum or Urpmi. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I used 'zypper clean' and 'zypper clean -a' at least 4 times :-) . I am about to retry to use the kernel and the KDE repos on my wife's computer. Perhaps I will have a different result this time? :-) (I sincerely hope so.)

You could try renaming/moving (and later removing) /var/cache/zypp. Maybe except /var/cache/zypp/solv/@system. /var/lib/zypp should be ok and /var/lib/zypper is empty here. -dnh -- "Facebook ist Stasi auf freiwilliger Basis." -- Michael Niavarani [FB is the Stasi on a volutary basis] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
