I think this is intentional (do you mean "installation summary" - filtering packages by status?). Anyway, reassigning
Comment 2 Thomas Göttlicher 2009-02-18 16:46:41 UTC
I cannot reproduce this bug on openSUSE 11.1. Could you please test with the latest version?
Comment 3 Scott Couston 2009-02-18 20:31:13 UTC
This is very strange I have discovered today that my other 11.0 PC's are o.k - Suspect RPM database is corrupt - can you supply RPM database rebuild commands to start with
Comment 4 Scott Couston 2009-02-18 20:46:20 UTC
re #1 yes sorry oops - image attached should clarify my poor choice of words ;-)

Not a UI issue, reassigning to zypp maintainers.

Could you please help rebuilding package management database?
Comment 6 Michael Schröder 2009-02-23 11:24:27 UTC
The jpeg indicates that is a not about installed packages.

Does 'zypper refresh -f' help?
Comment 7 Scott Couston 2009-02-23 20:48:35 UTC

Many Thanks - I thought that in the process of all before Online Updates and Before Software Management and Software Repositories and Addon Products zypper refresh -f would run automatically.

Perhaps if this error has happened to me and the fix is very easy you might like to include zypper refresh -f in the GUI Process of the most relevant Software Service in 
Yast - I am not suggesting all of them - Thanks ;-)

This change would probably need to be done in FATE - Would you  like to do this or would you like me to do so or would you like to just leave this as is?
Comment 8 Michael Schröder 2009-02-24 09:59:23 UTC
'refresh -f' is normally not needed. My guess is that the download of the package summary information of the repository failed somehow. The refresh command just retried the fetch.
Comment 9 Scott Couston 2009-02-25 01:51:14 UTC
Yes there are many times when an online update fails with only partial RPM files or defendant rpm'S being installed so I can now understand much better how this was corrected - Michael do you want to close this bug as fixed before I change it to an enhancement in software management to add a checkbox for a refresh -r to be performed behind the scenes ;-)
Comment 10 Michael Schröder 2009-02-25 10:11:44 UTC
It's actually not about rpm downloads, but repository metadata downloads. Reassigning to Michael Andres for investigation, lowering priority to "minor".
Comment 11 Michael Andres 2009-02-25 11:18:20 UTC
Download or building the solv file. We had several fixes. 

@Scott: Please attach the zypper logfile (/var/log/zypper.log). Maybe we can spot something.
Comment 12 Scott Couston 2009-03-01 00:05:49 UTC
New Version of Zypper has resolved
