SLES11-SP3-Updates on SMT not updated

I see this on our SMT server:

/mirrordata/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP3-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/repodata # ls -l total 222992 -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 1039288 Sep 24 18:44 deltainfo.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 7299878 Sep 24 18:43 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 217835999 Sep 24 18:44 other.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 1614996 Sep 24 18:42 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 1921 Sep 24 18:45 repomd.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 307 Sep 24 18:45 repomd.xml.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 614 Sep 24 18:45 repomd.xml.key -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 85132 Sep 24 18:44 susedata.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 smt www 197222 Sep 24 18:44 updateinfo.xml.gz
Note the dates…

Bash updates are more recent than the index.

When I look at ‘yast smt’ it tells me:

SLES11-SP3-Updates           ¦sle-11-x86_64 ¦x        ¦-      ¦2014-09-26 04:00:53¦SLES11-SP3-Updates for sle-11-x86_64

However the mirroring executes apparently fine… just ran it manually…

/mirrordata/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP3-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/repodata # zgrep bash-3.2-147.22 * /mirrordata/repo/$RCE/SLES11-SP3-Updates/sle-11-x86_64/repodata # (nothing)

What could be the problem here?

It just won’t overwrite the “repodata” directory after downloading into “.repodata” …:

When I remove repodata, a new directory is not created…

I’m having the same problem. I have updated the SLES-SP3-Updates repository today and the bash update is in the filesystem but the SMT client is still saying “The highest available version is already installed”.

Did you find a solution?

I have already tried:

On the client

  • suse_register
  • zypper ref -s

On the server

  • mv .repodata to repodata
  • restart SMT service

But with no success so far

Thanks

You’ll have to update your SMT server to the latest release (SLES and SMT).

Hi
Maybe with the recent changes (including moving to SUSEConnect), have
you ensured the SMT system is up to date?

Have a read of the master TID, one of the TIDs listsed may help;
