I suspected it was a sync issue.  But the recurrance of this is often very 
frustrating - since version previous to the 10.x series and the intro of 
Novell ZMD processes sync issue and not being able to read the repositories 
was a rare issue.   I know the devs are working on this and can only imagine 
the angst this creates for them.  All the same I wish it would get fixed.  I 
wonder if this is an issue with the SLES server series?  I hope not since 
this is what many of those running enterprise stack uses - and that's not a 
good thing for all involved IMHO.

Cheers, Curtis.
