-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was doing a "zypper shell" / "dup" of factory when my adsl got a hiccup, after 8 hours: network went down for some seconds, and the provider gave me a new IP. This interruption lasts something like 20..30 seconds, in the middle of a package download, causing it to abort the update: ... ... Downloading package xmoto-0.4.1-7.i586, 16.0 M (23.6 M unpacked) * Downloading: xmoto-0.4.1-7.i586.rpm [done (43.9 K/s)] * Installing: xmoto-0.4.1-7 Downloading package xgl-git_071026-48.i586, 1.6 M (4.5 M unpacked) * Downloading: xgl-git_071026-48.i586.rpm [done (89 B/s)] Problem downloading the package file from the repository: Can't provide ./suse/i586/xgl-git_071026-48.i586.rpm : Timeout exceed Please see the above error message for a hint. zypper> Shouldn't zypper offer a retry of the package before aborting? I start again "dup", and it says its going to download 1.6 GB, as if nothing were done previously. And it asks again that I accept the license I already accepted. I can not make sure that the network will not go down while downloading that amount of data! Its impossible! ... In order to install this package, you must agree to terms of the above license.

Now it says: ] Overall download size: 918.0 M. After the operation, additional 149.1 M ] will be used. So, after the restart, it does know that "some" 700 MB were already updated. Shouldn't it be cleverer than that? It should have asked me if I wanted to retry or abort, not abort without question. I'm sure that all users can not ensure a fully reliable network for the many hours of the download! - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH7XCBtTMYHG2NR9URAog8AKCMvN1aPNYyKotF1WiZe42T78g+EQCeIsfl bdFIZIzpuqXe4o/QBIGE2xQ= =ldGF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
