Description Klaus Kämpf 2008-10-07 08:59:13 UTC

System has 11.1 beta1 installed and 11.1 beta2 repository added.
Running 'zypper up' results in "product openSUSE to be removed'. Confirming this action does not remove the product. Running "zypper up" again results in the same action.

This is what caused removal of the product, as far as the solver is concerned:

[zypp] Product.cc(referencePackage):90 (5430)product:openSUSE-11.1-0.noarch(@System): no reference package found: product(openSUSE) == 11.1-0
[zypp] Product.cc(referencePackage):90 (5429)product:openSUSE-11.1-0.noarch(@System): no reference package found: product(openSUSE) == 11.1-0
[zypp++] PoolItem.cc(setBuddy):148 U__s_(2)product:openSUSE-11.1.x86_64(openSUSE-11.1-Beta2) has buddy U__s_(2583)openSUSE-release-11.1-1.14.x86_64(openSUSE-11.1-Beta2)

Regarding the actual commit, i have no idea why it did not remove the product. Michael, can you look at it?

Comment 3 Michael Andres 2008-10-13 09:08:57 UTC

'no reference package found' indicates that the product is not able to detect the associated reference package. This happens if the product metadata or the release packages provides are faulty.

The package providing the /etc/products.d entry must also provide 
  product(%{prodname}) = %{prodversion}


I could handle this in commit and forcefully remove buddyless /etc/products.d entries.

Yes, I would support this.
Entries below /etc/products.d 'belong' to our tools and should be according to the standard.
