Zmd updater listed a whole mess of packages (85) that could be updated, and after grinding on dependencies for seemingly two years, it spat up the error message:

This is a glitch which we are not able to pinpoint yet. It will be gone on the next run. :(

...

So I jumped into Yast, and ran online update. It found all the same packages, and when I clicked the Accept button, it abended. Simply closed, and disappeared.

If YOU closes when pressing "Accept" this is "GOOD" and means "No updats needed to be applied".

Except that I was staring at a screen full of updates needing to be applied at the time..... -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

If you hit this again, create a bugreport and attach /var/log/zmd-backend.log /var/log/zmd-messages.log and /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db

This hits some users occasionally but so far it vanished after some time and we did not get enough information to really debug it :-(

As I mentioned above yesterday there were 85 updates available. Today the little nameless icon in the tray indicated 86. So I launched it again and it successfully resolved dependencies, and proceed to update 86 packages (all KDE stuff). So I am guessing this was a temporary problem of some package not being available at the time. Would be nice if the code were to spit out the actual name. At the bottom of this email I have pasted the pertinent section from /var/log/zmd-backend.log from the update that Failed. Will send more if you need.

Are you running the latest online update?

I think so, I got them from your directory, and neither YOU nor ZUM indicated any updates available for Yast. ----------log extract 2006-09-08 01:29:10 <1> pen(20033) [solver] Resolver.cc(resolveDependencies):606 Resolver::resolveDependencies() 2006-09-08 01:29:10 <5> pen(20033) [solver] Resolver.cc(resolveDependencies):723 Empty Queue, nothing to resolve 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <1> pen(20033) [solver] Resolver.cc(resolveDependencies):606 Resolver::resolveDependencies() 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <0> pen(20033) [solver] Resolver.cc(resolveDependencies):740 Pend 1 / Cmpl 0 / Prun 0 / Defr 0 / Invl 0 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <0> pen(20033) [solver] Resolver.cc(resolveDependencies):811 Pend 0 / Cmpl 1 / Prun 0 / Defr 0 / Invl 0 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <1> pen(20033) [transactions] transactions.cc(read_transactions):97 read_transactions 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <3> pen(20033) [transactions] transactions.cc(read_transactions):121 Can't find res object id 226 576 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <3> pen(20033) [transactions] transactions.cc(read_transactions):150 Error reading transaction pa ckages: not an error 2006-09-08 01:29:11 <1> pen(20033) [zypp::SourceManager] SourceManager.cc(~SourceManager):139 Deleted SourceManager S ingleton. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
