https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402811 Summary: zypper complains "Error reading solv-file" and won't update anything Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer Just upgraded from openSUSE 10.3 i586 to openSUSE 11.0 x86_64. Now both the YaST Software Installation application, and zypper (upon which it depends), refuse to install or upgrade anything. They abort with a bunch of "Error reading solv-file" errors (see below and attached zypper.log file). This is similar to Bug 364394, except that removing the contents of /var/cache/zypp has no effect.
