           Summary: Editing Properties of a Repository Fails to Invalidate
                    the Cache
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: RC 1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2

I removed my initial physical DVD from my repositories, and then added the .iso
file. However, I screwed it up and entered a bogus file (an incomplete copy of
the full openSUSE-10.3-RC1-DVD-i386.iso file). So, I go back and edit the path
name of my local ISO repository, and continue to get the same error:

There was an error in the repository initialization.
'10.3_RC1_ISO_1': /var/cache/zypp/raw/10.3_RC1_ISO_1: Required file is missing:
/content

And of course you can't load any software from the .iso file.

However, when I deleted this repository and then added it again, it worked
fine.

Conjecture: YaST has built a cache of the repository, and is failing to
invalidate that cache when you change the path name to the repository.

I have not tested this, but it probably fails to invalidate the cache when you
change the path name, server name, URL, etc. for any kind of repository.

A fairly difficult to trip bug, because you have to point it at a repository
that is good enough to build a cache in the first place, and then change the
path name.
