Hi , I recently encountered a problem using zypper install my package. I hope to get your help, thank you very much. Product: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (x86_64) Other Software and Versions Being Used: zypper-1.6.327-9.9 rpm-4.4.2.3-37.56.1 rpm-python-4.4.2.3-37.46.7 libzypp-9.38.8-0.7.1 Steps to reproduce: step 1. I build a custom RPM package, then build a zypper repo. custom RPM name: upg-client-1.0.0-1.x86_64 zypper repo: zypper ar file:///usr/src/packages/RPMS/ myrepo zypper refresh step 2. Write two Bash scripts for testing (contexts of these scripts shown in Additional Information), one for installing upg-client RPM and another for reproduce this problem. step 3. Run installing script, then run reproduce script. When the installing script is stopped, we can see that "rpm -qa |grep upg-client " and "rpm -q upg-client" is inconsistent.
