Re: [opensuse] Why am I getting 14.6G zypper.log files?

Hi,

Is there any reason my /var/log partition is being filled up by a
zypper.log file each night. As soon as I delete the file up pops another
the following time zypper update runs. I'm using openSUSE 11.1

Is there any way of stopping this log file without stopping the zypper
update running?

The reason is a bug in zypper, but since no one who can reproduce will tell us
what is in these log files, it is impossible to fix

Next time it happens, instead of simply deleting, please take a sample of the
file so we can know exactly what it is that zypper puts into the file
