zypper.log knows whats wrong:
Fetcher.cc(start):176: Can't provide ./gpg-pubkey-0dfb3188-41ed929b.asc : Media Exception

Comment 2 Jan Kupec 2007-08-16 15:26:39 UTC

This is buried in RepoManager::refreshMetadata(), Duncan, can you take care of this?

Comment 3 Jan Kupec 2007-08-16 15:30:27 UTC

Maybe all zypp::Exceptions should be allowed to fly away from there, but i'm not sure. Or even better, just prepare the RepoException and right before throwing it log the last caught exception in the new RepoException(). zypper will show to root cause.
