Hi,
Aaaahhhh! What did I lose? However, as I definitely had all zmd/zen/rug stuff deinstalled from the earliest 10.1 betas until today, the loss of information in this folders should be tolerable ;).
By deleting /var/lib/zypp, you are losing: - The information about YaST installation sources (can be restored by adding them again) - The information about installed patch resolvables (probably not critical) - The information about installed patterns (moderately critical) - The information about installed products (HIGHLY critical - this would end up in a "no products to register" error message during online update configuration) - The information about installed languages (I don't know if/when this is used) By deleting /var/lib/zmd, you are losing: - The sqlite database (no problem, is automatically rebuilt) - The transaction history (cannot be restored, but maybe you don't need it) - All channels and subscriptions (can be restored by adding them again) So, the really critical thing is the product resolvable, because I don't know if it's even possible to restore it. Without this, the package manager does not know which system it is running on. While writing this, might this maybe the cause of your "rug reports my system as noarch" problem? Maybe...
