Problems installing software in openSUSE?, Simple solution!

August 11th, 2010 by

Sometime ago I had a little problem with Zypper at the time of adding some packages. The same problem extended to YaST and well, the end of the world.

Possibly there was a integrity problem between the updater and the database RPM, or whatever, the true thing is that the error goes like:

Tamaño total a descargar: 174,1 MiB. Después de la operación se utilizarán 565,0 KiB adicionales.

If you have some error like this one, the solution its extremely simple, just run in the command line interface:

sudo rpm --rebuilddb && sudo zypper clean -a && sudo zypper ref

This will rebuild the RPM database and then refresh the repos. 😉
