Hi,
Is there any reason my /var/log partition is being filled up by a zypper.log file each night. As soon as I delete the file up pops another the following time zypper update runs. I'm using openSUSE 11.1
Is there any way of stopping this log file without stopping the zypper update running?
File a bug report , include the output of rpm -q cron logrotate zypper, tell us the bug number as well.
A bug report has already been filed (bnc#469872), and according to the report, a possible fix is in devel:/updatestack, along with other possible fixes (which are not well tested yet). It also says in Comment#8 in the report that they are not fixing bugs in the zypper version anymore. If only the PolicyKit plugin worked for me. It is kind of a catch 22 when using the kupdateapplet. I tried to use the applet to update today, noticed things were looking funny, checked /var/log and zypper.log was at 11.7GB. This is the correct bug report for this problem (I was able to check the end of the file with less, though it was slow.) So if I use the zypp plugin, updates work but might fill up my root. I just switched to PolicyKit plugin, which may now work (when I tried before it always said it could not get a transaction lock or something like that).
Take a look at bug #487613 as well.
