Hi! As you can see in my zypper.log, it takes 44 seconds for rpmdb2solv to finish, but still my zypper stays silent on what is going on. Only after the process finished, it will say "Reading installed packages", but that step takes exactly no second, so it's pointless to have progress for that one ;( Please move the progress kickoff to before rpmdb2solv is started.
