Hello,

I´m on oS 11.1 (32bit) + KDE3. Recently I noticed that something is
wrong with zypper db.
Somehow it lost information about a number of repositories. For example, I
have
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt46/openSUSE_11.1
added and I have 12 packages, installed from this repository
(according to rpm), but zypper/yast indicates no packages from this
repo.

E.g. rpm -qa|xargs rpm -qi|grep -ic qt46 returns 12, but zypper
pa|grep -ic qt46 returns 0.

One package from this repo is definitely libqt4:

#zypper if libqt4

Information for package libqt4:

In Yast / Software management if I choose ¨Filter: Repositories¨, yast
shows @System repo and many packages in it which definitely belong to
some real repos. At the same time, it shows no packages in KDE:Qt46.

I remember some advices of how to re-create zypper db, but could not
find them right now in archive.


I removed everything in /var/cache/zypp and re-created with zypper
refresh, but nothing changed. Started thinking, maybe it is something
with repositories themselves (at least 2 of problematic ones were
updated this morning - KDE:Qt46 and KDE:KDE3, though the files in
repositories look OK).
