Description Jörg Mayer 2005-09-06 22:32:08 UTC

Setup: 
beta4 with text console 
 
Problem: 
I managed to add an install source that lacked the DATA/descr/ dir. 
 
How to break: 
"yast" 
add install source 
"Finish" 
now the system waits for quite a while - it's downloading the package 
descriptions etc. Press ^Z, then kill %% 
 
After that, I had an install source without DATA/descr/ directory, 
and although I selected refresh for that source, DATA/descr/ was not created 
any more. 
 
Workaround: delete broken install source and add again.

Michael, is refresh supposed to handle such situations?

Comment 2 Michael Andres 2005-09-12 13:23:43 UTC

A missing descr/ is recreated. Unfortunately a missing DATA/ is for historic
reasons interpreted as 'unwanted source cache'. But this does not make senese in
the running system, so I'll create the DATA dir if missing.

fixed in yast2-packagemanager-2.12.20
