However if the Network/Internet software and config are missing or damaged the repair of missing or damaged RPM's becomes useless as it cannot access any repository that is only accessible via a working Internet connection. Firstly we need to offer the ability to repair the Network connection as part of the Automated and System Repair Tools. We dont do this currently so any error in either missing or damaged RPM fails as the RPM cannot be obtained. Then we have two new issues to enhance our current repair. 1.Where possible we need to change the process of obtaining the damaged and missing RPM to come from the DVD repository source. - Currently everything is obtained from an online repository. 2. If not possible in 1 above, our new ability to repair the network connection permits the normal call for missing or damaged RPMs from an online repository. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Currently if your have missing or damaged RPMs and a damaged Network connection the repair fails in this respect. Currently we can only repair and installed system IF the Network connection is unaffected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Expected Results: If we provide the ability to also repair the Network Connection the above details will work just fine -- 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.
