Bug 251275

YasT2 logs

That's strange, I couldn't reproduce the problem. I could install spicctrl-1.8-44.i586.rpm in Alpha2plus from the FACTORY source.

I think it might have been caused by an inconsistency in the metadata on the server. If it still happen then reopen.

Actually happens just now ( 200703300945 ), see attached screenshots.

This may well be a problem of the mirror server redirection and its management ( I noticed, there is a lot of redirection going on ), but this should be fixed then, and YaST should be able to handle it properly as well.

I experienced this today a lot, after clicking "OK" several times ( 5 to 20 ) it recovers and does download. 

As I mentioned in Comment #6, my impression is, that there is a whole lot of sources "hidden" behind the registered source, and it seems that not all of them are accessible properly or updated properly. 

This is really a nuisance and makes automated updates almost impossible. There should be some means to make YaST retry several sources automatically. ( Maybe there is, and I just haven't found out? )

Not sure why this should be so, on most updates I cant leave the PC alone as pressing OK is required VERY frequently. Sometimes I need to run yast2 inst_source and read in all sources again to get going,

I could reproduce the problem when adding source

Jano, any idea?

basically SourceImpl::Verifier::isDesiredMedia() returned false ((vendor == _media_vendor && id == _media_id) was false). In other words, vendor and media id strings read while setting media verifier differ from the ones read during this particular operation.

I have no clue how that could happen, tough.

I will need the rest of the logs.

BTW: zypper add http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory-debug/inst-source-debug works for me.

Which version of zypp are we talking about? The one from Aplha3?

This is the complete y2log when the error message is displayed.

I have libzypp from SVN repo, installed about one week ago.

yast2logs from todays update

libzypp is now 3.2.0-5, not sure whether it was updated, if so version was the one before when updating.

I was able to reproduce the bug, and after few hours a came to realize that the problem lies indeed outside of zypp.

Each time you click on 'media' file at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory-debug/inst-source-debug/media.1/
you get redirected to some mirror.

Sometimes you get:
SUSE Linux Products GmbH
20061202045441
1

sometimes you get:
SUSE Linux Products GmbH
20070509141425
1

and sometimes you get error 404!

This is why zypp considers the media not desired (see comment #15).

So it depends on whether mirror are synchronized.
