Repos have two identifiers: Alias and Name. Obviously, you have a repo which is defined by /etc/zypp/repos.d/openSUSE_11.1_7.repo (check the contents of this file), you can find some details about it inside the file and I guess that you find it in the list of repos. Sorry, I don't see anything wrong here, can you confirm that you can match the repo file with a repository in the repo list? Ok, thank you for explanation, but I don't agree there is nothing wrong? Software repositories uses NAME and ADDRESS per repo, software manager should use at least one of them, because otherwise I cannot tell which repo I am using. For me opensuse_11 opensuse_7 are meaningless texts. But since this is flaw in design I change the summary. So currently the issue is -- use the same "name" (or description, or another entity) for repo in BOTH software repositories and software manager so the user could have full control (have full information) from where the package is coming. Why I said flaw -- because now the name is just a eye candy. I spend some time to set meaningful names, futile effort from what you said. This bug looks like a duplicate of #462778 to me. Jiri, do you agree? Also, I think that severity needs to be way lower than "major". Decreasing... Yes, 462778 banned the Alias usage. Maciej, I hope that we cought them all. If you find any more in openSUSE 11.2 Alphas, please, reopen this bug and point us to the Alias usage (probably best via a screenshot). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 462778 *** Oh, so this would not be fixed for 11.1 then? Pity, package management is really difficult here. Anyway, thank you! |
Created attachment 276202 [details] y2logs.tgz software management: packages from imaginary repositories I just try to install nspluginwrapper, no big deal, right. One of the repos where this package is available is openSUSE_11.1_7. The only problem is I don't have such repository defined in "software repositories".
