Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.
Why should the above require Root privileges? Shouldn't we actually check whether we are aloowed to read/write the directories?
Agreed :O) Me or Pepa will do it. I'm just wondering whether just checking for write access is all that is to it (maybe it is).
jano
Now it is done, you can test it. Checking of root is disabled when you specify another root via -r/--root. If you have enought permision you can also try -r / which allow you run zypper on current root. On my pc install command doesn't work due to rpm, which have same problem with it.
