           Summary: zypper/YaST gives bad info on package install
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: libzypp
        AssignedTo: kkaempf@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ajohansson@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: kkaempf@xxxxxxxxxx

At the time of writing, the package vm-install is missing from FACTORY, and
that was my only installation repository for 10.3b2. The package virt-manager
has a hard dependency on vm-install

When trying to install virt-manager using YaST or zypper, the only message
given to the user is that the package couldn't be installed. Only when
installing by hand with rpm could I see that the reason was that vm-install was
missing. After finding and installing vm-install by hand, zypper and YaST were
able to install virt-manager and the remaining dependencies

The installer needs to show more clearly why a package can't be installed. If
there is a missing dependency, it should be printed. If the package is bad (bad
signature, md5 etc) that needs to be shown.
