Description Hans-Peter Jansen 2021-02-19 20:28:39 UTC

During a big zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --download-only, I noticed this:

4990 packages to upgrade, 3 to downgrade, 26 new, 1 to reinstall, 9 to remove.
Overall download size: 3.94 GiB. Already cached: 7.18 GiB. Download only.

The package numbers are expected (full rebuild due to glibc update), but the cached size outdo the overall size significantly.

Please note, that I'm doing the poor man's approach to package sharing:

~> l /var/cache/zypp/packages
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 May  2  2019 /var/cache/zypp/packages -> ../../../work/suse/update/tumbleweed/packages/

work is a NFS shared folder here.

Also note, that I'm using a somewhat complex repo setup...

The debug solver data exceeds the bugzilla limits:

Hello. I am not sure (and can't check since I don't know Python :)), but the way I understand that output, when I get something similar while updating my machine is:
Overall download size: 3.94 GiB
Already cached: 7.18 GiB

so the total size of the update is 3.9 + 7.18; 7.18GiB have been already downloaded, 3.94GiB more to go.

The numbers look good to me as well. As Ahmad mentioned, you alreay have 7 GiB in your shared NFS cache and just the remaining ~4 GiB need to be downloaded.

Closing. Feel free to reopen if you still see an issue with this.
