Well, after I gave it about 3 months, I thought I would try 10.1 again, surely that silly update issue has been solved by now, right? wroong!
Switch to SMART. It works for me. :)
Now I think I will join the conspiracy theorists: could it be that behind all this new registration and libzypp and zmd incompetence lurks the big brother eye of homeland defense?
LOL! I'll peek out from under my tinfoil hat and let you know. :P <snip>
This kind of "progress" had only been seen in microsoft products before 10.1, correct?
No, I seem to recall one wierd issue with hotplug/USB devices which traversed 9.1 and 9.2, eventually getting fixed in 9.3, then broken again in 10.0 and finally seems to be fixed in 10.1. I seriously doubt the Zen issue will last that long. In addition, there are alternatives - apt, smart - which can be used in the interim. I'm perfectly happy with my 10.1 systems now that I've got Smart. Personally, I think they just missed it by that much! In the end, shit happens. The folks over at Novell/SUSE are programmers. They try to do their best and are constrained by deadlines as much as the next guy/gal. There's no conspiricy.
