Who can really say? SUSE have brought in so many package managers (or at least support for so many repository formats) that us mere mortals do not know. The old fashioned YasT package manager has never supported this. I also use smart with rpm-md repositories and I do not see the file contents of packages that are not installed. Perhaps it is a smart thing. > > Russell Jones -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
