Hello,
 i have a question but not sure if i's on topic or not , as i saw that Bof 
meant "Informal discussion meetings" this might fit in :
i recently had an internet provider change and thus no possibilty to refresh 
and upgrade my 11.3 opensuse desktop since 1 month.
 After using #zypper ref && zypper up from init 3 i had some cheksum problems 
with 2 packages. I notice that this kind of problem frequently appears .
- The choice given is to abort, retry or ignore. Why is ignore offered when i 
might break some unknown dependencies ?
i wrongly chose to ignore python-sip and i ended up with a broken suse 
(kdeinit4 would not start anymore).
- The fact that checksum went wrong stopped my upgrade and as i did not want to 
break things so i stopped completely the upgrade and dis not know what to 
do...untill i looked at the zypper man and found the zypper cc possibility to 
clear cache ; which did the trick and allowed me to refresh my repositories 
and upgrade all 254 packages (a bit less after a few trials).
 Well, this kind of thing is certainly happening a lot of time in many homes 
and workplaces.
As clearing cache solved it all i was wondering why is this kind of error 
(wrong checksum) -or any error linked with a wrong cache- not automatically 
followed by a zypper cc command to clear cache and follow up ? May be it's 
already know and on tracks but i'm sure there would be plenty of interesting 
things to do automatically to improve zypper solving/upgrading even more (and 
zypper is already Excellent!).NB : i know cache is usually the place that is 
not cleared often, but sometimes it helps a lot ;)
Thanks 
Fabrice
