Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: camw3@cam.ac.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.205 Safari/534.16 Certain packages (last week timezone, tk; this week plasma-addons) will not download onto the computer at all, although most packages are fine. These packages cannot be downloaded through YaST, zypper, firefox, or wget, but they can be downloaded using wget from an 11.3 machine on the same network. The only way to download them to the 11.4 machine is to boot into failsafe mode, at which point they download successfully just like all other packages. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run zypper up. 2. When you hit a package which fails, try wget-ing it. 3. Actual Results: 1. zypper up Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

Expected Results: The package should have successfully downloaded. Solutions which don't work: 1. Downloading from other mirrors. 2. Turning off the firewall. 3. Disabling ipv6. 4. Checking to see whether there were installation media errors (there weren't) 5. Checking for a proxy (there is no proxy either at machine level or network level). -- 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.
