With RC1 images(qemux86 and atom-pc), if I install a package with RPM command, it can be shown as installed with RPM command. But using zypper remove command, zypper will show that the package is not installed.

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
  libc6

1 new package to install.
Overall download size: 1.6 MiB. After the operation, additional 3.3 MiB will be used.

Reproduce Steps:
1. Prepare a repo on host
2. Add the repo for zypper on target
3. Copy man-1.6f-r0.i586 to target
4. install the package with rpm command
5. zypper remove man and check the output.

I think this is related to 722, and is likely fixed.  Should be verified.
Comment 2 Jiajun Xu 2011-03-12 08:55:19 UTC 
The issue still exists on RC2-20110305 build, and I find the more generic steps to reproduce such the issue:

1. zypper search package, for example, man, zypper should show the packages matching pattern *man*, but no man-1.6f-r0.*.rpm is installed
2. Prepare man-1.6f-r0.*.rpm package and install it by rpm
3. zypper search, you will find zypper prompts no packages found
4. If you install another package by rpm, zypper search will work again

If you install package by zypper, the libc6 issue will be prompted at the second time.

The bug seems same as bug 827, bug 845 and bug 841.
Comment 3 Jiajun Xu 2011-03-15 20:02:04 UTC 
The bug still exists on RC3 build image, commit: a33a2cc024f9c9147c92c5da70d8fbb631b968f9, bernard branch on master tree.
Comment 5 Jiajun Xu 2011-03-22 00:03:17 UTC 
Verify the bug with gold build, it is fixed.
