Description Tobias Burnus 2006-10-21 12:03:19 UTC

I did an update from a minimal install of Alpha 4 to the current Factory (x86_64).

If I know try to run either yast (installation source, update, sw_single) or start ZMD, I end up in a kind of endless loop.

In /var/tmp/, thousands of tmpFile* are created (I got 17,000 files until I stopped zmd/parse-metadata), which seem to consist mostly of the following file:

and ca. 1/4 as often I found another file.

This should be fixed with the next sync out, libzypp change log entry is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 20 12:16:06 CEST 2006 - dmacvicar@suse.de

- revert keyring changes, causes endless loop (obvious)
- add dist-product information, adapt store
- version 2.5.0
- r4355

The new libzypp (2.5) for x86 has been on the factory servers for a few days now, while the 64bit-version is still missing. Is there a way to get it elsewhere on the openSUSE server, or is there no other solution but to wait?

Comment 5 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2006-10-25 10:30:36 UTC

This bug is fixed.
