Feature changed by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Feature #306240, revision 2 Title: Repair Network Connection in Automated Repair Process openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Description: The Repair Installed System on the Boot/Install DVD offers "Repair - Installed System" The automated repair works very very well, however if - it finds an error in the RPM database it will attempt to download this - info from HTTP/FTP Source. However if the Network/Internet software and - config are missing or damaged the repair of missing or damaged RPM's - becomes useless as it cannot access any repository that is only - accessible via a working Internet connection. Firstly we need to offer - the ability to repair the Network connection as part of the Automated - and System Repair Tools. We dont do this currently so any error in - either missing or damaged RPM fails as the RPM cannot be obtained. Then - we have two new issues to enhance our current repair. 1.Where possible - we need to change the process of obtaining the damaged and missing RPM - to come from the DVD repository source. - Currently everything is - obtained from an online repository. 2. If not possible in 1 above, our - new ability to repair the network connection permits the normal call - for missing or damaged RPMs from an online repository. so currently we - can only repair installed system IF the Network connection is - unaffected original: bnc 480755 Scott Couston + Installed System" + The automated repair works very very well, however if it finds an error + in the RPM database it will attempt to download this info from HTTP/FTP + Source. + However if the Network/Internet software and config are missing or + damaged the repair of missing or damaged RPM's becomes useless as it + cannot access any repository that is only accessible via a working + Internet connection. + Firstly we need to offer the ability to repair the Network connection + as part of the Automated and System Repair Tools. + We dont do this currently so any error in either missing or damaged RPM + fails as the RPM cannot be obtained. + Then we have two new issues to enhance our current repair. + 1.Where possible we need to change the process of obtaining the damaged + and missing RPM to come from the DVD repository source. - Currently + everything is obtained from an online repository. + 2.
