Hi,
After a few weeks of staying with one state of the Factory system, I decided to update to a current state once again a few hours ago. This requires about 5 GB of download and a few hours to run, so it's not something I'm doing lightly and often.
And once again, as so often, YaST started to spit out errors right in the middle of the process telling me the Factory repo doesn't contain some of the packages it wanted to install - probably it's been updated underneath my install and the packages had been replaced with newer versions. I canceled and tried again and then I ran into the same problem with the KDE4 Desktop OBS repo halfway in the install.
Can't we have some system that doesn't frustrate you by pulling out files you need right while you're installing them? Couldn't OBS keep files, say, 12-24h after they have been removed from the repo index?
This is frustrating enough that I'm only updating this system very rarely nowadays, and I think updating often and testing newer stuff is actually what Factory should be about. The problems I should deal with (if any at all) are ones that arise due to new code, not due to the repo info not matching the available files at the time I'm actually trying to install them.
Is there any solution for this?

This should help you, important is that you must must disable autoupdate, so you do refresh and after download of rpm you install it. http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/10/30/how-survive-zypper-dup-on-system-with...
