Can't *you* believe *many* users do have that problem ? Again, come hang around on IRC and witness the havoc.
I experience the same thing as Frank
Ok to summarize: There are two problems with packagemanagement in 10.1 * zmd meta data parsing is not fast enough for realworld requirements With a typical SUSE Linux user inst-source setup parsing the metadata takes up to 10 minutes. This is with variations depending on download speed and the amount of installation sources. This also manifests in suse_register (which is using zmd) and general i/o during normal operation when zmd wakes up and starts parsing. * inst-source syncing between yast inst_source and zmd is not robust Usually this problem pops up when users start to try to work-around problems with zmd (like removing services with rug, reinstalling zdm etc.) Everything else is working pretty flawlesly. Can we agree on that? This is bad but not unfixable. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, Core Services "Rules change. The Game remains the same." - Omar (The Wire)
