--- Comment #3 from Tristan Miller
You are describing the behaviour in the package selector. That view intentionally does not show disabled repositories
My report isn't about disabled repositories; it is about *enabled* repositories that (for whatever reason) failed to refresh. Most people don't disable such repositories right away, since it's not uncommon for the refresh to fail due to transient network or server problems.
because the subsequent behaviour would be confusing: If disabled repos were listed there and the user would click on such a disabled repo, what should happen?
But I already suggested exactly what should happen: it should show installed packages from that repository, but hide the uninstalled ones. I think this is much less confusing and much more consistent than simply hiding both installed and uninstalled packages for that repository. (In reply to Stefan Hundhammer from comment #2)
P.S. To see what packages you have on your system that are no longer part of any active repository, select a view that shows all (installed) packages, such as "installation summary" (and select only "installed" packages on the left side), then sort the package list by version numbers
This isn't a full workaround, since I still can't see which packages came from which repository without selecting each one individually and examining it. (And it's not unheard of for multiple repositories to go AWOL at the same time. In the last few weeks both the Java and LibreOffice Factory repositories were moved.) The only full workaround I'm aware of, as mentioned in my report, is to use zypper from the command line. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
