https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402597 Summary: Zypp cannot read solv file Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: llunak@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- New instalation of 11.0 (with few modifications, but none should be relevant for this). Installation itself went fine, after trying to add community repositories I'm unable to use zypper or 'yast2 -i' for anything. The error is "Error reading solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE-11.0-Updates/solv" or similar. I could already reproduce it on another machine before, but there 'zypper clean -m' and 'zypper refresh' avoided the problem. However here, no matter what I try, it appears the system is unable to create the caches. I even tried copying /var/cache/zypp from another machine, that works fine until things need to be refreshed. Even things like removing all repositories, or even wiping out /var/cache/zypp don't help. Attached is /var/log/zypper.log for the following sequence: $ zypper lr No repositories defined. Use the 'zypper addrepo' command to add one or more repositories. $ zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss 'OSS' Adding repository 'OSS' [done] Repository 'OSS' successfully added Enabled: Yes Autorefresh: No URI: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss $ zypper search blahblah Building repository 'OSS' cache [done] Building repository 'OSS' cache [done] Problem loading data from 'OSS' Error reading solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/OSS/solv Try 'zypper refresh', or even 'zypper clean -m' before doing so. Resolvables from 'OSS' not loaded because of error. Reading installed packages... No resolvables found. (Yes, it looks like it tries to build the cache twice, but it doesn't always do that. It doesn't work in either case though.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
