a made a great effort to put a minimal x11 system on a quite old machine with
enough ram but just 2GB of storage. getting a bigger disk is not an option. it
runs with a CF card in an environment that kills harddisk. I ended up with just
70MB of free space or so. eventually I decided to delete
/usr/share/doc/packages/* as its contents are useless to me, its just docs and
in my case about 150MB large.

problem:

if I run zypper to update it barfs as some subprocess running cpio cannot find
an update target (file or dir). unfortunately this is not ignored and requires
user interaction. moreover the rest of the patch is skipped as well - instead
of just the missing docs. I don't think those doc-files are critical enough to
break an update process. 
zypper can barf and fill up my logfiles about it, but it should continue to
update the important stuff!
