I fully ACK that messages are constantly improving, however when things go wrong in zypp, some particulary geeky messages are shown
(taken from thread TTAO: zypper devs, on this same list ;) )
"Can't provide ./x86_64/kde4-kdm-4.0.68-12.4.x86_64.rpm : Media Exception Please see the above error message for a hint."
I understand what a "Media Exception" is, but that is clear as mood for the average user, it can be many different problems..
The common case when the repository is out of date is at least suggested now

Personaly i find 'repo out of date, please refresh and retry' more clear than the above. But 'media error' would be more clear than 'exeption' This happens in side the download. I always refresh upfront, because the repos in factory always change.. The download this came from, was about 100+mB, unpacked, so about ten minutes. Inside of this time, the repo changed.. If in this case, i would not know what the pkg meanth, and rebooted, or shut down, there probably would not be a logon and displaymngr...(if Kdm was set as default..) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
