I have a strange problem here: I have several machines running SUSE 10.1 here so I am rsync-ing the patches from one of the mirror servers to a local directory on my server here. This local directory is set up as an installation source in YaST (type YUM) and 'Update' is set to 'ON'. Now, when fresh patches arrive, they wil not be recognized. Neither restarting the ZMD service nor using 'Refresh' from the software update applet nor rebooting the machines helps. Only if I remove the installation source in YAST and add it back again, the new patches are detected.
The same happens, if there are new versions of non-patches available (eg. from Packman). Selecting the package and function 'Update' in YaST does not work, as it still shows only the old version available.
Is this intended behaviour or should a file a bug report?
This can happen when the directory is not properly mirrored. Expecially using the --size-only option cannot be used for mirroring rpm-md repositories. Another possiblity is that a mirror itsslf is in an inconsistent shape. The sometimes happens to the packman mirrors. I think no bugreport is neccessarry. [...] Cheers Herbert
