SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Updates
1

hi,
i replicated suse 11.2 updates repository and run the repodata on that folder.
when i run zypper list-updates i see many updates but when i run zypper list-patchs nothing is listed.
i tried the same command directly aginst https://nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP2-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/ , and only then i see the secuiory categiries list im looking for.

am i missing somthing when creating my own repodata.
is repodata does not create the security categoris i need.
how do i check for patchs with my custom repositires.

thanks

example for a the required list.

zypper lp --repo sles11-sp2-updates

Hi
Have you tried to force a refresh of the repositories?

zypper ref --force

PS, it’s SLES 11 SP2 not 11.2 (as this reference clashes with the
openSUSE release numbering) :wink:
