I just rerun it to show you log. pkcon refresh can work fine but pkcon get-updates said "Thre are no updates available at this time"

Neither commands provide new entries in /var/log/pk_backend_zypp

But comes the issue. Zypper can work fine like "zypper list-updates" in my system but it always complain it can't download repomd.xml as I run with "pkcon get-updates". Any idea?

Any clues in /var/log/pk_backend_zypp?

I'm sure it's right because I deleted the log totally and then got this again Peter

Before looking for updates "pkcon get-updates" triggers a refresh of the repos metadata. But the attached log does not show any error.

RepoManager checks your 'trunk' repository (last refresh = 75.7167 minutes ago; at 2010-01-22 06:13:30 ff.). It successfully downloads repomd.xml, and states 'trunk cache is up to date with metadata'.

Are you this is the right log snippet?

Oh, sorry, I sent wrong info in my first mail. The error info is NOT "can't download repomd.xml", it's another case I already figured out. The incorrect thing is that 'zypper list-updates' does get a list of updates(yes, I do have them) but 'pkcon get-updates' said "There are no updates available at this time" Sorry for the confusion Peter

But did "pkcon get-updates" still show an error message?

Or do I missunderstand, and it's zypper who shows the "can't download repomd.xml " error? In that case /var/log/zypper.log should give a hint.

Thanks Reeves. But I still have issue getting it running correctly. 'zypper list-updates' does get a list of updates(yes, I do have them) but 'pkcon get-updates' said "There are no updates available at this time". Any idea? Attach log again Peter

I'm trying latest PK 0.5.6. As a background info in case you didn't know, PK implemented a new glib wrapper API called package-glib2 or just glib2 and this glib2 implementation become default one since PK 0.5.3(released early Oct,2009). But zypp backend for PK is still based old glib API so I can't even build it if I didn't enable legacy glib API. So I implemented a patch attached to use glib2 API in zypp backend, which is actually not difficult, basically most of them involves using new PackageID(gchar*) rather than a structure. Please help review.

Patch looks pretty good except for I would use the #defined constants to access the various parts instead of hardcoding array indexes like "sections[1]". Also just re-adding the method that was dropped probably would not fly upstream. You can grab the commits I made in the 0.6 branch to work with the new API and they should backport easily to 0.5.

I'm not sure I follow what you said. So you mean it's normal and by design? With such design, as I launch gpk-update-viewer(GUI in gnome-packagekit), I can't see any updates because both "pkcon get-updates" and gpk-update-viewer uses pk_client_get_updates_async which finally call backend_get_updates_thread() in pk-backend-zypp.cpp to get updates with libzypp. I noticed below snippets from that function // get all Packages and Patches for Update std::setzypp::PoolItem *candidates = zypp_get_patches (); //std::setzypp::PoolItem *candidates2 = new std::setzypp::PoolItem (); if (!_updating_self) { // exclude the patch-repository std::string patchRepo; if (!candidates->empty ()) { patchRepo = candidates->begin ()->resolvable ()->repoInfo ().alias (); } //candidates2 = zypp_get_updates (patchRepo); //candidates->insert (candidates2->begin (), candidates2->end ()); } So you use zypp_get_patches rather than zypp_get_updates to get updates? Why such design Peter

We implement get-updates as zypper lp which list official patches released as updates.
