The first line: 2011-10-03 21:20:11 <1> vstr72npteq1m(8860) [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(~ZYppGlobalLock):90 Lockfile cleaned. (8860) The last 2: 2011-10-06 06:24:13 <1> vstr72npteq1m(8585) [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(~ZYppGlobalLock):90 Lockfile cleaned. (8585) 2011-10-06 23:12:19 <1> vstr72npteq1m(21499) [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(~ZYppGlobalLock):90 Lockfile cleaned. (21499) Looks like pk_backend_zypp-1 is concatenated to pk_backend_zypp on each run. When I renamed pk_backend_zypp and pk_backend_zypp-1 the system on it's own initiative created a new 0 byte pk_backend_zypp. I then ran pkcon refresh. It took 12 minutes and produced a 46.1 MB file of 323724 lines and pk_backend_zypp becomes pk_backend_zypp-1. I repeated the process an hour later with very similar results and no concatenation. I failed to mention that the first 4 steps only take a second or two. Refreshing cache [=========================] Waiting for authentication [=========================] Starting [=========================] Refreshing software list [=========================] Generating package lists [======== ] (35%) This third run gives same results. What may be different is that back in March I killed the packagekit apps and removed them from the startup because it would take 30+ minutes to run. The packagekit window remains up with the green start icon still enabled. Well I would click it and start the process over. So I squashed it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
