[opensuse-factory] ZMD updater hangs at 99%
I've been running SUSE 10.2 64-bit on my Athlon 64 3500+ machine. When I do the factory updates, it kept failing with packages not being available - I'm guessing server overload. But, on the couple of occasions that it has successfully downloaded and installed everything, the "Software Aktualisierung" (Software Update in English?) window hangs at 99% "finishing". It got to 99% downloading just libzypp yesterday when I had to go out for a meeting. When I got back 5 hours later, it was still at 99%. Closing it seems to have no adverse effect. I had the same today with the full factory update, it installed everything, then just sat there for an hour or so at 99%.

Known issue, please use "rug", "zypper" or "YOU" to update to 4th update stack update... Afterwards (and in final) zen-updater will work better.

I had the same problem (window hangs at 99% "finishing") on the 32-bit installation on my T60 Thinkpad when I ran the update and it installed 3 new Firefox packages. I finally gave up and rebooted.

This is a serious problem. I know people that switched from suse to another distribution, because of the update problems. Software updates are hopefully again fast, reliable and without trouble in the next release. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
