Bug 777323

Moving to component libzypp as this might fit better to the described issue.

- Please create and attach a solver testcase:
    # zypper in --debug-solver nopackage
    ...
    Generating solver test case...
    Solver test case generated successfully at /var/log/zypper.solverTestCase.  
  Then pack the output directory together with 
  /var/log/zypper.log and attach it to the bugreport.

Created attachment 503884 [details]
.tgz of /var/log/zypper.solverTestCase/ & /var/log/zypper.log

The solver testcase indeed shows no obvious packaging problem. Package dependencies seem to be fine. The zypper.log however does not include the 'zypper in cifs-utils samba' command. Looks like the log was already rotated. I'd need the right file to see if it conatins any hint.

@Felix: This is how you can find the right log:

Please attach the zypper logfile /var/log/zypper.log (or an older and compressed /var/log/zypper.log-YYYYMMDD.xz or .bz2) that shows the reported behavior. To see the execution dates and zypper commands included in a logfile you can install the zypper-log package (available since zypper-1.6.11) and execute:

    zypper-log -l <logfile>

NOTE: zypper-log prior to 1.8.1 is not able to read lzma compressed logfiles (.xz). In this case you can use `xzgrep` to find the execution dates and zypper commands:

    grep   main.cc /var/log/zypper.log
    xzgrep main.cc /var/log/zypper.log-*.xz
    bzgrep main.cc /var/log/zypper.log-*.bz2
    zgrep  main.cc /var/log/zypper.log-*.gz

main.cc lines grep'd from zypper.log-20120824.xz

The only compressed zypper.log doesn't seem to have any entry for installing only samba, and I can't find one in .bash_history either. It looks like another fresh install will be required to keep this from being invalid. I expect to be doing one sometime this week. The expected procedure will be to select a minimal X installation and when complete, do zypper in samba after YaST2 does its installation cleanup and I set solver.onlyRequires=true in zypp.conf.

I've done a fresh HTTP 64 bit install, but yast2-samba-client and yast2-samba-server got installed even though I had to deselect samba and samba-client during installation to prevent them. I have no idea what caused the yast2-samba* packages to install, but I suppose that they did means I didn't replicate the installation leading to comment 0. Subsequent to setting solver.onlyRequires=true in zypp.conf, 'zypper in samba' resulted in zypper installing 5 packages: cifs-utils, keyutils, libfam0, samba & samba-client. Thinking some more about the current installation and the comment 5 attachment I wonder if the comment 0 install did somehow install samba but not samba-client, resulting in the lack of requested information in the testcase and zypper-log.

I'm sorry! I oversaw the rotated y2log also included in the initial attachment. The resolver complained about the missing samba-client package and the user selected resolution "break samba-3.6.6-48.6.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies".

That's why the samba package was broken. 

A few hours later the media was fixed, so you were able to manually install it, and that's why the error is no longer reproducible.
