           Summary: zypper uses current directory for tmp files.
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: Milestone 8
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: jw@novell.com

go to a directory, where root cannot write, e.g. nfs export
then try 

zypper -p http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:11.1/standard \
--no-refresh -v in kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger=3.5.10

Retrieving: kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-3.5.10-12.10.x86_64.rpm [done (416.0
KiB/s)]
Failed to provide Package kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-3.5.10-12.10. Do you
want to retry retrieval?

[tmp1|http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:11.1/standard] Can't
provide file './x86_64/kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-3.5.10-12.10.x86_64.rpm'
from repository 'tmp1'
History:
 - Can't create ./x86_64
 - Can't provide ./x86_64/kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-3.5.10-12.10.x86_64.rpm
: Can't create ./x86_64

I unerstand that pulling a package from an 11.1 repo into 11.2M8 is not first
choice, but I doubt, that the above error is caused by this mismatch.

cd /tmp; and everything works as expected.
