Can't *you* believe *many* users do have that problem ? Again, come hang around on IRC and witness the havoc.
And I found the real problem: it's the way libzypp is architected and implemented. Now what?
Actually I don't think it's libzypp, it's more about ZMD.
Could someone post a few details about what libzypp actually does and how it interacts with ZMD ? Is it an abstraction and/or API to ZMD and rug ?
Is libzypp the one capable of handling yast2/ZMD repos and RPM-MD ? Or is it ZMD/rug ?
When using RPM-MD repos in yast2, does it still go through ZMD ?

The reason why I am assuming it's libzypp's fault is: when I filed the bug it was for the Zen component, then Nat Budin changed the component to libzypp and connected this bug with bug 176301. This bug I am not supposed to view. So it's fair to guess there is something rotten in the state of libzypp. And we should not participate, just sit and wait. After playing around with this problem a bit it seems likely that running "rug sl" just once is the workaround for this bug. FMF
