That *is* different. It's raised on an unknown compression type.

Sounds similar to https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59103

Different then. The issue above was just GUI updates not working.

Does running from the terminal with --log-level=debug show more ?

I've added the support for the new XML format of synthesis now,
and extending my offer to get other Mandriva features merged...
Next up would be support for urpmi channelsync and mirrorlist.
When running the same code, it should be easier to reproduce ?

But eventually, all bugs/code *need* to go upstream (launchpad).
It's not helpful for each distribution to go on their own path.
And nowadays you can even link bugs and import code from other
trackers and repositories, which helps to avoid duplicatation.
