Before you ask: I removed /var/log/YaST2/* bevore running YOU to avoid/remove unrelated log entries. y2log was the only file that existed afterwards - so please don't ask for the "full" logs ;-)
Christian, as this is happening on 10.0, I'll just close this bug WONTFIX now. Please feel free to retest on 10.1 >= beta9 and reopen in case it's needed. This bugreport is no longer relevant with the redesigned package manager :-) |
The roject "better YaST error messages" (as suggested in suse-beta-e) starts *NOW* ;-) A widely spreaded error (asked at least once a month in suse-linux mailinglist) is that users enter a wrong FTP path in YOU which makes the update failing. The error message is really useless. It says (translated) Error: Could not fetch patch information. When clicking "Details", you get the also useless message error de/pub/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/10.0/"] Please give the users a really useable error message like (my suggestion): subdirectory i386/update/ not found on server - please check the path you entered. If unsure, check if the directory exists on the FTP server with any FTP client.
