so, I guess now it worked ... I think inititally I copied the zmd.db to a new name, and did not rm the original one.
Anyway ... now, when I go into the updater, there are only 8 updates available, and they are generic "SUSE Linux 10.1 FTP" and etc ... none of the items that should have been available from the packman and other repos that would then get me multimedia support.
GRRRR
I'm trying to follow the jem report ... any ideas here, folks?
I had something very similar happen not long ago. After removing /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db and doing a 'rug refresh' I had only two updates available, *both were the same*, something like Suse_10.1_dvd_x86_64 I don't remember exactly, but there was "dvd" and "64" in there and I don't even have a 64 bit system :-( It eventually just went away, and one day, a few days later, I had regular updates again. I did not remove and reinstall the installation sources, and I did not run YAST online-update either in that period of time, although they might have been useful approaches. I don't recall, but I may have rebooted in that time, but not immediately before it started working. One thing you might want to try is to drop to runlevel 1 and then back to 5 (or rebooting for a more drastic step). This seems to sometimes help ZEN/ZMD along when merely stopping/restarting ZMD doesn't quite do it.
