Description Forgotten User g1R4ct0Dvq 2008-08-24 01:14:42 UTC
Since a few weeks my opensuseupdater-kde kicker applet fails checking for updates: When checking for available updates (either automatically or forced with "Check now") the green logo changes to a yellow exclamation mark triangle, tooltip text: "Error: refresh failed".

It doesn't give out more information.

Updates via "YaST2 online_update" work fine and have all been applied, though.

I find your lack of response disturbing :)

Meanwhile I found the cause: /usr/sbin/zypp-refresh-wrapper has to be SUID root.

Thanks for finding the cause. I close the bug as fixed.
