fixed in libzypp-13.8.4 Cleaning packages dir on repo remove and orphaned solv dirs on refresh.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 853065 ***
Hm, I'm skeptical. My current libzypp version is 13.10.2 and yet I won 16 GiB (which isn't nothing) by manually removing orphaned caches. (package dirs IIUC: orphaned subfolders of /var/cache/zyp/packages/). I cannot exclude the hypothesis that they had been left there by some version of YaST or zypper anterior to the fix; but then, shouldn't these two programs have realised that caches existed which did not correspond to any known repository, enabled or not? Hm, bug 853065 comment #1 says
…Obviously we do not remove the packages cached below /var/cache/zypp/packages,… The reason is not "obvious" to me, and these (with one subdirectory of …/packages per repo) were exactly those I removed manually, for a total of 16 GiB.
Is that "obviousness" still there, and can someone explain it to me?
