While uninstalled, the rpm package itself is not available, so the data come from the repositories metadata. Looks like the repo data are incomplete. Please retry after refreshing the metadata (zypper ref). If data are still missing, please attach the zypper logfile (/var/log/zypper.log). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I checked all enabled http:// repos mentioned in the zypper.log. They all contain summary/description for all included packages, and I'm able to extract them. Although Michael swears he most probably did not change anything in the satsolvers parser that could be responsible for this bug, I'd like to check whether the data are actually present in your solv files. Maybe you can run the script below, and attach the output: #! /bin/bash for f in /var/cache/zypp/solv/*/solv; do echo "=== $f ==="; dumpsolv $f | awk ' /^solvable:name:/{on=($2=="libcroco");} /^solvable:(name|arch|evr|summary|description):/{if(on)print} '; done It will collect libcroco summary and description (1st. line) from all of your solv files. This will tell whether the data are actually available. === /var/cache/zypp/solv/@System/solv === solvable:name: libcroco solvable:arch: i586 solvable:evr: 0.6.1-119.54 solvable:summary: CSS2 Parser Library solvable:description: Libcroco is a stand-alone CSS2 parsing library. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am not able to reproduce this error anymore either.

This bug could be closed to my opinion.

If libcroco is up to date the summary and description will be displayed, check with zypper if libcroco. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Todays http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss is parsed correctly, and the data correctly appear in the solv file. BTW: The missing data in the solv file do not depend on whether zypper is up-to-date or not. Most probably all x86_64 packages in os112/factory miss the summary. If the package is up-to-date, zypper displays the installed packages summary which comes from the rpmdb. If the package is outdated, zypper shows the data from the update candidate. I'd like to check whether your raw metadata are correct: zgrep '^=(Shr|Pkg): zypper' /var/cache/zypp/raw/os112/suse/setup/descr/packages.gz This should show three lines: =Pkg: zypper 1.2.2 1.13 i586 =Pkg: zypper 1.2.2 1.13 x86_64 =Shr: zypper 1.2.2 1.13 i586 If the '=Shr:' tag is missing, the x86_64 would not reuse the i586 packages summary/descr. In that case a refresh should provide you new and correct metadata. But most probably the tag is present, so the satsolver-tool that created the solv file was probably buggy. In case you meanwhile updated libzypp and satsolver-tools, recreating the solv file may be sufficient: zypper clean -m os112 zypper refresh os112 You can use the script to check whether the x86_64 description is now present. If not, we should retry it after your satsolver-tools are updated. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It just needs to convert the data again, 'zypper ref -f' is the easiest way to do that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
