No sources. Zypper currently searches within installationsources only. $ Surely read-only access doesn't require root?

This was fixed (TmpPath sibling directory permissions). Perhaps zypper is enforcing it without reason? Note that this bug was reported for 10.2. Yes, it is fixed in 10.3.
(In reply to comment #1 from Cristian Rodriguez)
This now triggers an exception and ask me to report a bug
zypper search foobar as user Unexepcted Exception cant refresh metadata please fill a bug report about this.
This problem is something completely different. Cristian, please file a new report for this and attach zypper.log. Use ZYPP_LOGFILE=<filepath> and give it some file path where you have access as non-root (otherwise the log file is not written in /var/log/zypper.log as normal user does not have access there). But i think it's fixed as well, please retest it with the latest alpha (7) or wait for beta1 (out on thursday). -- 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.
