Description Vincent Untz 2008-02-26 20:50:41 UTC 
Using up-to-date factory. When I do "zypper anycommand", I get this:

Reading installed packages...Unexpected exception.
Error reading solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/@System.solv
Please file a bug report about this.
See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper#Troubleshooting for instructions.

/var/cache/zypp/@System.solv is an empty file.

I'll attach zypper.log.

look out for satsolver-tools 0.0.20 (possibly zypp:svn) - the bug is known even though I can't find the dup right now. You can fix your system by simply removing the empty cache
