Description Berthold Gunreben 2005-08-26 09:53:00 UTC 
when doing an update, packages tells me (sorry in german) 
 
* Zu aktualisierende Pakete: 0 
* Zu installierende neue Pakete: 697 
* Zu entfernende Pakete: 0 
 
what is obviously wrong. Most packages should just be updated, and it tells 
that it would just install new packages. 
 
Adding screenshot...

Comment 4 Jiri Srain 2005-08-26 12:02:38 UTC 
Tar and compress it all, I can't tell without looking inside them.

Michael, the  
  
Pkg::GetPackages (`installed, true)  
  
function returned empty list (according to the log, see y2log-1, grep for  
'Selected.*Install'. I cannot reproduce it on my system. 
  
Amy idea why? I haven't found any error regarding target initialization...
Comment 7 Berthold Gunreben 2005-08-26 13:18:53 UTC 
I just found, that there are packages that are no more in the rpm database. 
For example the package gbuffy: 
 
rpm -qf $(which gbuffy) 
file /usr/bin/gbuffy is not owned by any package 
 
I guess, that only the default packages have been updated, and all others are 
still there in an old version. 
 
machine is roth.suse.de
Comment 8 Berthold Gunreben 2006-02-14 10:37:06 UTC 
I guess that there has been a corrupt rpm database. This is not reproduceable anymore.
