I have noticed this behavior on multiple machines. It takes a lot of time to finish "Cleaning repository 'Packman Repository' cache". Any ideas what might be the problem?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Especially when I want to do some trivial stuffs with Yast2 (such as changing date and time), since Yast2 sometimes reads package database. Anyway, maybe your question is for Packman mailing list.
BTW a question to Yast developers, why Yast2 does that? Sometimes that can be very annoying.
Cheers!
I agree. Yast2 seems to want to scan repositories even during functions that have nothing to do with software management. As for Packman, it is a pretty big repository, thus longer scanning and initialization. I tend to disable that repository (and others) and enable it only when I want to look for something on Packman. It is annoying to have to remember to turn on and off repositories all the time. Sometimes, I just want to go to Software Management just to see what is currently installed, and not have to scan the repositories. As for the time changing, this was a bug which is claimed to be fixed with 2.16. But, even though I told them it isn't, they still consider it fixed.
