If I try, download of rpms succeeds but after this the installation is interrupted because of missing permissions. I can also see this behavior if I start sudo zypper in XYZ as normal user from its home directory. My system uses home directories on a nfs share where local root users do not have any permissions. So cd /tmp ; sudo zypper in XYZ will work as well as using su - But it's annoying if you start installation in the "normal" way using a desktop symbol of Yast or something like that and process fails everytime. Is there any configuration possibility to let zypper place its files in a defined folder? Zypper should recognize by itself if current working directory is no good place for temp data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd ~ 2. sudo zypper in XYZ 3. Actual Results: permission error Expected Results: Installation of package XYZ -- 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.
