Description Johannes Thumshirn 2016-12-14 15:09:22 UTC

After each run of zypper update or zypper patch I'm missing several files in my $HOME. Specifically annoying are the missing ssh keys and gpg-keys. I _suspect_ this is because they're open and some component is upgraded and "looses" them in the process of being upgraded (my suspect is gvfs but I'm not sure).

Although I do backups regularly this is extremely annoying.

NOTE: I had this problem on Tumbleweed as well. It started somewhere in September and I hoped I can "fix" it by changing to Leap.

One additional note. The data loss did not happen, when I "downgraded" from Tumbleweed to Leap 42.2 GA while no user was logged into a desktop environment, just root on tty0.

This is automated batch bugzilla cleanup.

The openSUSE 42.2 changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or you can still observe it under openSUSE Leap 15.0, please
feel free to reopen this bug against that version (see the "Version"
component in the bug fields), or alternatively open
a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
