I'm afraid this 'might' break (or needn't work correctly) in case of Upgrade from media (Installation->Upgrade) as we often do not have access to network-based repositories when upgrading using CD/DVD media.
The repo is cached locally or?
The repo might but needn't be cached locally (on a target). User downloads DVD of openSUSE 11.0 and boots from it. After that he/she selects Upgrade in the Installation Mode dialog. Then he/she choses the root partition of the system to upgrade and inst-sys initializes the target. If the repository is remote, it might fail as we don't need to have network available. Moreover, on a running system, some products (e.g., Add-Ons) might require a base product to be installed before. If an installation repository of that product is not available (e.g., anymore), solver will keep requesting it or might offer not to install the Add-On - even if the base product is installed and all dependencies (but missing product) are fulfilled.
