Is there a reason why zypper needs to refresh when doing:
zypper se -i<some package>
As I only want to search for an *installed* package there is no reason to refresh the repos.
If you have repos configured to auto refresh, they will whenever you access zypper to do a search or up or dup after a length of time since last refresh settable in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.
You *can* set the repos to only refresh when you tell them to:
zypper mr -Ra
now to "zypper up" you need to "zypper ref;zypper up"
I understand all of this *but* when doing a search that *only* refers to *installed* packages *no* refresh is required.
Ken, I making an assumption based on how zypper se -s works, but if you are logged in as a normal user: zypper se -i # search installed with no refresh sudo zypper se -i # search installed with refresh So as a normal user, you have to proactively allow a refresh to occur.
