In the YaST Package Manager (Install/Remove Software), the leftmost column of the Repositories tab is supposed to show a list of all enabled repositories. However, it does not display repositories that failed to refresh. If this behaviour is intentional, then I think this is a bad idea. Sometimes repositories move or get shut down permanently, and users want to see what software has been installed from them so that they can find a new repository (or set of repositories) containing the same packages. For example, the Java repository that formerly lived at <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/packages/openSUSE_13.2/>. Now there is no way for me to use YaST to see which packages I had install from that repository. Please make sure that the leftmost column displays all enabled repositories. If a user clicks on a repository that failed to refresh, then it's OK for the package table to omit uninstalled packages from that repository, but the table should still show installed packages from that repository. As a workaround, packages installed from a given repository (even if it failed to refresh) can be displayed using zypper on the command line: $ zypper search -i -r <repository_name>
