After attempting to install the recent set of updates for 10.1, YOU refuses to install updates which I skipped the first time, although it does recognise them as being present. I skipped them first time because I didn't have the .patch.rpms, and there are only .delta.rpms for delta-ing from the install media, but not from the previous updated version (packages mono-*2.10, MozillaFirefox-translations). YOU suggests to install the still missing updates, I click accept, YOU uses 100% CPU for a little while, then does nothing before offering to click finish. Clicking finish and restarting YOU produces the same result. zmd is disabled. Update source is ftp://localhost/, .patch.rpm are present and YOU doesn't complain about any files it can't find. This is annoying bug for 10.1 (yet again I have to do a command line fix), is it still present in 10.2b2? Impossible to test, but potentially critical as installing security updates has gone out the door. The problem has to do with the blurbs created by yast in /var/lib/zypp/db/patches/ These are yast's memory of what's installed and what isn't. Unfortuately, 2 things happen: 1) Yast marks package-sets as installed even though some rpm part or all of it was skipped, and even if yast was terminated forcefully after selecting the whole lot of patches. 2) Yast never checks its "memory" against reality, and forever after, all of the existing patches so far are "installed". Fix for now: rm /var/lib/zypp/db/patches/* Now yast still has no clue about which updates are actually installed (the list is empty), but at least it's not destructive for patches which a) have not yet been installed, b) come out in the future. Operating like this is not acceptable from a reliability and security point of view. Yast needs a reality check, so to speak :)) Shall I report this against 10.1, or 10.2b2 in the hope a SUSEr is able to tell whether the behaviour still exists in 10.2, and a fix for it?
