Hi @ all,

I tried to check packman for new software and I tried to add libxine1 to my
installation. It was missing for some reason. So I started Yast2, selected
"Install/uninstall software" and got an error message saying that he was
unable to contact the server. Sorry, I don't have the exact wording right
now.

I then went into "Installation Sources" because I learned from Suse 10.0 that
it sometimes helps to select e.g Packmna, select change / overwrite and just
confirm again with OK. So I tried the same with 10.1 RC1. It sort of worked
well, but when I tried to leave that dialogue the system was very busy (100%
CPU) for about 15 Minutes. I killed the process because I assumed it hanged.
But when I went into that part of yast again I found that the installation
path was totally missing now.

I re-entered everything, but he is now not able to add it. Again, I don't
have the exact wording of the error mesage. Sorry.

Question:
- Is this a bug?
- Or a known bug (I saw that there are some on the list but I am not sure
whether what they are said to be is what I am experiencing here)
- Or a feature?
