http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017267 Bug ID: 1017267 Summary: zypper exception: Can't delete '/etc/zypp/repos.d/_tmpRPMcache_.repo' Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: sebix+novell.com@sebix.at QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I got this error when executing zypper as non-root user:

zypper se apg Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No matching items found. Unexpected exception. [_tmpRPMcache_|dir:///var/cache/zypper/RPMS] Can't delete '/etc/zypp/repos.d/_tmpRPMcache_.repo' Please file a bug report about this. See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Troubleshooting for instructions.

There was another running zypper command (installation, waiting for user input), which may have been the reason for the existence of the file. But the bug is that zypper as non-root can't and shouldn't delete a file in /etc. And, if there's no support for a `zypper se` parallel to a `zypper in`, then a proper error message should be displayed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
