I always use a -f arg. I believe it is required because your doing a vendor/repo change if it is already installed.

tks, will try next. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You need to use absolute path name (`pwd`/package.rpm)

Unless something changed very recently, the raw package name, if present in the current directory, is all it takes.

Yes. Apparently my memory fails me. I think last time I have seen this it was the problem, but probably I'm mistaken.

If that really has been broken now, copy or symlink the package into the zypp cache, then install, or use rpm to install.

for rpm in pwd, sudo zypper -v in ./<package-name>.rpm

still downloads from a repo.

does "./" not equal pwd?

You know what absolute pathname is, do not you?

I have been using rpm to install since zypper stopped performing as I expect. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It "downloads" it from the temporary Plain RPM files cache.

Yes. I wonder if the whole /var/cache/zypper/RPMS is left intentionally and for what reason.

And that did correct my problem re Subject. My /var/cache/zypper/RPMS/ has 1.6G :( I have 4 other local Tw boxes which have *no* /var/cache/zypper.
