I see the limitation of zypper over pin although for some reason zypper picked up an uninstalled package latrace. I tried zypper se --file-list "README.md" and the result only listed installed files. pin doesn't work for me anymore as I use the iso image for my image reposisitory and don't want to burn a dvd or load a usb stick every time I wish to use pin.
You can obtain the needed file by loop mounting the iso image once, not every time you use pin. It is anyways just once per distro release. Anyway, I generate the file downloading the info from the oss and non-oss repos, which are bigger. There are many packages not in the DVD. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31839452 May 14 2014 ARCHIVES-full-13.1.gz cer@Telcontar:~> zcat /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES-full-13.1.gz | wc -l 3058436 cer@Telcontar:~>
I usually find missing include files via google or osc bse. AFAIR I used to use pin a long time ago and found it to be cumbersome.
Well, webpin is very useful, but unfortunately it fails or breaks often. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
