--- Comment #13 from Richard Creighton 2007-08-22 00:12:10 MST ---
I got bit before I saw this. Now I can't update anything because a
bunch of files were erased, apparantly including the one that extracts
the downloaded files from the rpm being upgraded. Which begs the
question: Which file or files do I have to restore from the install
DVD in order to get minimum update capability again? One of the files
erased appears to have been the unzipper library which I think is LIBBZ2
so I'm not sure how to extract stuff from the rpms restored from the DVD.
I see that bug 301676 is marked 'resolved' fixed. Which version of
zypper/libzypp contains the fix?
I think a proceedure to recover from the loss of the ability to update or even
extract from a rpm should be advertised because I am sure hundreds or more
others certainly were also affected. I reinstalled twice but apparantly
factory still has/had the defective package which prompted the question about
version but a proceedure would be appreciated as constant reinstalls get
tedious.
