zypper should
a) NOT ruin your system by an incomplete update, and it should NOT start the update before all needed packages have been downloaded.
Michael Andres already works on this IIRC - this will be one (the default, i guess) mode of operation. The current mode being the other. With the current mode there is always this risk.
b) (if you ask me) if it encounters a 404 (from the server, not after a redirect) for a package, it should do a quick check on the timestamp of the repository to see whether it has changed since zypper was started.
Yup, that's what i would do here....
If so, it should refresh and restart.
.. but i would only print a hint ("repo is out of date, do zypper refresh, and run the original command again."), instead of doing it automatically. @zypp people: what about the idea from comment #2? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
