FIXED: Re: [opensuse] Re: updater and purging items from an unused repo ...

If there were no new patches to install, the window just closes when you click accept. In that sense I believe that would count as expected behavior.
However, that still doesn't help with the other issues. What happens in YaST online update if you filter by installation source? Which installation sources show up?
well I re-registered SLED (which added back a couple repositories that had been lost) and then I removed and re-added the repos suggested by the Jem Report ... and, VOILA! I had tons of items return to my updater ... but ... shriek! The danged extra gnome stuff was STILL there. So, it could only be that these items were appearing because the repo was still defined in installation sources. It was DISABLED and set to NOT refresh .... but ... So I deleted that repo, and did a refresh of the updater, and ... all that remained in the updater was stuff that I thought should be there. wow ... so, what, exactly, does "disable" do with regard to a repo?

I believe that enable/disable only applies to YaST. The sources can still be there and active in zen/zmd even when disabled in YaST. Deleting the repo in YaST probably deleted the repo in ZEN/ZMD as well. At the command line, what is the output from 'rug sl' and 'rug ca'? (You might have to be root to do this). These will tell you what repos ZEN/ZMD is using. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

ahh .. that makes sense. I guess they are "seperate" things/processes. Hopefully this will get untangled, sooner rather than later ...

These are good commands to know ... I wish this functionality was exposed in the gui. Below are the outputs, for your interest.
