Description Olaf Hering 2007-08-03 20:50:13 UTC

10.3a7

I tried to create an repository with yast2-add-on.
but it can not be used in the software management window. There is a popup:

   Warning:
  There was an error in repository initialization.

Created attachment 155556 [details]

Comment 2 Katarina Machalkova 2007-08-06 08:20:00 UTC

Well, yast2-add-on is not meant to be used for creating repositories, but for installing add-on product. 
Olaf, didn't you actually mean yast2-add-on-creator?

Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2007-08-06 08:46:29 UTC

well, whatever it is called.
Its all in the logs, I hope.

Comment 4 Katarina Machalkova 2007-08-06 09:16:31 UTC

I'll read y2logs before requesting info :-)
It is yast2-add-on that is called -> Lukas, CCing also Lada, as it might be pkg-bindings related

Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-06 11:03:16 UTC

I can only see dir:///home/olaf/machbunt/10.3/
Which might be wrong.

YaST2 Add-On is a module that adds new URL into ZYPP and calls either installation.xml or sw_single. The warning "There was an error in repository initialization." comes from sw_single.

There are three possibilities:
  * Pkg-bindings do something wrong when adding new source
    (but I doubt it does)
  * Zypp can't handle dir:// well
    (possible)
  * The source is wrong
    (...)

Reassigning to lslezak.

Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2007-08-06 17:12:12 UTC

It seems that the created product is broken, during metadata download it tries to download an x86_64 pattern on PPC:

File ./suse/setup/descr/32bit-10.3-84.x86_64.pat not found on media: dir:///home/olaf/machbunt/10.3/

Jiri, it seems that the content file refers to missing file. (Caused probably by the original content file?)

Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2007-08-06 18:24:53 UTC

Olaf, could you please give me the access (both) to 

a) the repository you've created

b) the original files you've used as a source to create the add-on, so I can follow your steps, reproduce and debug.


Thanks.

Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2007-08-07 16:39:59 UTC

I have copied ~olaf/machbunt to ~olh/bugs/297422

Comment 9 Jiří Suchomel 2007-08-08 07:33:15 UTC

There's nothing strange with the add-on, content file mentions just one pattern, but I have this line in log:

2007-08-08 09:24:50 <5> gorgon(24525) [zypp] Exception.cc(log):119 RepoManager.cc(refreshMetadata):453 CAUGHT:   Fetcher.cc(start):176: Can't provide ./suse/setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV : Media Exception


Add-on doesn't have any EXTRA_PROV (and if the original example was done with the same addon, it also doesn't have any  32bit-10.3-84.x86_64.pat pattern - neither defined in DESCRDIR, nor mentioned in content file).

Jano, any idea?

Comment 10 Jan Kupec 2007-08-08 08:45:42 UTC

Yes, got it. Both the missing .pat file and the ghost EXTRA_PROV is due to a bug with using raw metadata cache - it simply took the content file from another repo.
