Description
This is 4c6b3ef Haiku.PM.
- Uninstalling a package downloads repository checksum each time. So without Internet connection it is not possible to do it.
- it looks like the package_daemon is not notified about package removal since it's not possible to reinstall it again.
hey package_daemon quit; /system/servers/package_daemonfixes it though.

Actually, after about 10 seconds pkgman let me do it. Is there a reason for fetching repository checksum on uninstall?

Replying to diver:

Only a hypothetical one, since I don't think we have such a case in our repository yet. When uninstalling a package that is actually needed, the dependency solver may suggest to install an alternative package providing the requirement. At this point it would be relevant to work with current repository data. It isn't critical, though. Not even in the regular install case, as long as the packages are still available on the server.
I tested with qemu with the network interface disabled, and there was no delay, but I guess in other scenarios of not having internet access the checksum file download will hang until timing out. So disabling the auto-refresh for the "uninstall" operation would probably be a good idea. Maybe also for "search". We do have an explicit "refresh" anyway.
