Hello,
I am running "zypper -n -q refresh" regularly from a cron job. This was working fine in the last couple of weeks. But yesterday, it just got stuck. Today, I noticed that it was hanging for about 20 hours, eating all the available CPU. It also filled all my /var partition with a 16GB logfile. Then I killed it (twice). The only output was:
Timeout exceed
OK OK! Exiting immediately...
Josef, I had the same problem all yesterday as well. I think there was a broken update mirror site that was screwing things up. The easiest way to solve the problem was just to add a specific mirror as your update source and disable the normal update repository (the main redirector mirror). For example: zypper ar http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/opensuse/update/11.1/ update-nluug zypper mr -r update-nluug zypper mr -d openSUSE-11.0-Updates Then retry and I bet all is good. (of course make sure you can reach the mirror you choose) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
