I have tried the command line interface once more.

Please see the above error message for a hint.




I find this message strange. It seems that it should have been fixed because of the issue "[zypper] Failed to cache rpm database" (bug #364370).

Comment 1 Jan Kupec 2008-10-27 15:19:57 UTC

Bug #364370 was about the unexpected exception which was not handled by zypper.

In your case the output seems correct. Did 'rpm --rebuilddb' fix the problem for you? Did the problem reoccur since then? Can you identify the steps to make it reappear after fixing the rpm db?

Comment 2 Markus Elfring 2008-10-27 15:32:02 UTC

I can not reproduce the unexpected error message. - I could update to the current Wine 1.1.7 release today.

Comment 3 Jan Kupec 2008-10-27 15:46:08 UTC

OK, closing then. Thanx!
