The solv files just use the data generated by createrepo. You really shouldn't use file deps on files not matching those patterns, libzypp can't handle that (yet). The standard patterns are: '.*bin\/.*', '^\/etc\/.*', '^\/usr\/lib\/sendmail$' -- 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.

Yes it's a big problem, other tools like yum depend on an unchanged pattern list.

I see, closing as WONTFIX then :((

Why are the games not in the 'bin' directory?

Not quite sure, many distributions install game binaries into /usr/games (SUSE is one of them). I guess it probably has something with the "games" account or maybe because the game binaries are usually large. -- 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.
