Bug 298350

It's the 3rd time I did a fresh install of Alpha 7 now, and every time I wasn't able to access the main factory repository any longer, after some hours. Seems like the cache database locks up somehow. The problem is only with the main repository, but maybe, because the other repositories didn't change until the lock.


Here's the output of 'zypper -v refresh' when I try to refresh the repository cache (I attached the corresponding zypper.log as file to my post) :
