I've published two repositories for SUSE Linux 10.1: * An updated packagemanagement stack * New kernel 2.6.16.21
Some good news and some bad news regarding the package management:
The update process worked, although during the process an error was detected (this happened with most of the updates during the last weeks - the installation process ran always to the end and everything was fine.) This time, the program complained that the ZMD service was not running (ok, that makes sense). Unfortunately, it opened 627 windows telling me so, which stopped nearly the whole system. But after some (long) time, the package management update was installed, the tray icon vanished and all 627 windows with the error message were closed.
Could you open a bugreport for this, please?
After reboot, the updates for KDE which were available at that time were detected and now installed without any error messages. Fine :-)
Now the bad news: One of my installation sources is a local copy of the Packman archive, which also contains some updated packages. When right-clicking the tray icon and selecting 'update' ('Aktualisieren') I get an error message window:
"Refresh failed. Failed to parse XML metadata: Unsigned file '/repodata/repomd.xml (dir:///akira/space/SuSE_Update/packman/10.1)'"
So it seems that the handling of unsigned repositories still does not work or even worse it does not work anymore. Before the update, the repositories were not refreshed automatically, but at least after a manual refresh the packages were detected and installed.
Change in Preferences the setting "security-level" to "checksum".
There is still some work for you ;-)
I know :-(. I just want to be sure we do not introduce regressions while we continue fixing bugs... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
