Zypper question

Zypper question

[Gary Thomas]

I'm trying to set up zypper on a qemu based system.  I've built
the image & additional packages in 192.168.1.125:/local/qemu_test/tmp/deploy/rpm/
This system is running lighttpd and has the path http://192.168.1.125/qemu-repo
set to that path.  I verified it by fetching http://192.168.1.125/qemu-repo/solvedb.conf
which shows up as
   /local/qemu_test/tmp/deploy/rpm/qemux86/solvedb
   /local/qemu_test/tmp/deploy/rpm/i586/solvedb
   /local/qemu_test/tmp/deploy/rpm/all/solvedb

On the QEMU system, I ran
   # zypper addrepo http://192.168.1.125/qemu-repo yocto
   # zypper refresh
No errors were reported

When I tried to install a package, I got this:
   # zypper install gst-plugins-base
   Error building the cache.
   [1] Repository type can't be determined.
   warning: Disabling repository 'yocto' because of the above error.

What am I doing wrong?

Note: I tried to follow https://wiki.pokylinux.org/wiki/Zypper_Repository_Setup
Can I help with this (edit the page, etc)?  If so, how do I get a login?

This is odd.  I didn't experience these issues when I was doing the development
/ testing.

From the above there is an "Error building the cache."  the only caching steps
that occur during an install is a sync of the system's RPM cache.  If something
is wrong there you can get a similar error.

Try simply running "rpm -qa" and make sure you get reasonable output.  If not,
then RPM isn't installed properly.  (By default on a minimal system, the RPM
database is removed after the rootfs is populated.)

'rpm -qa ' worked just fine.

I started with core-image-sato, so it's a pretty complete system to start.

Do I have the repo stuff set up correctly?  I can see from the lighttpd logs
that it seems to be looking for files I don't have:
   192.168.7.2 192.168.1.125 - [03/May/2011:16:57:38 -0600] "HEAD /qemu-repo/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 404 0 "-" "ZYpp 8.11.0 (curl 7.21.2)"
   192.168.7.2 192.168.1.125 - [03/May/2011:16:57:38 -0600] "HEAD /qemu-repo/content HTTP/1.1" 404 0 "-" "ZYpp 8.11.0 (curl 7.21.2)"
Neither of these files seems to be in tmp/deploy/rpm

Did I miss a step?  I ran 'bitbake package-index' just in case.

did you run createrepo on the /local/qemu_test/tmp/deploy/rpm directory?

(step 4 in the wiki page)  I usually run createrepo <path> -- but apparently it
works if you are in the same directory...

Indeed, I missed that step.

Note: I had expected this operation to be handled by 'bitbake package-index'
Could it not be done that way so it's always the same, no matter the style
of package management?

It likely can.  I didn't even know bitbake package-index was a target.  Please
file a bug and I'll investigate and get it resolved.
