Comment (by leavengood):
Also to explain a bit further, BPackageRoster::GetRepositoryCache has a
bug because in a new Haiku install ~/config/cache does not exist, so this
will always fail with B_NOT_FOUND until that directory is created.
GetRepositoryConfig does not fail in this way because it is looking for
~/config/settings which always exists.
Since RefreshRepositoryRequest is always called to update repos, it was
always failing due to no ~/config/cache existing. So if that directory is
created, updates will start working, but adding new repos still won't
because of another bug.
Ignoring this error skirts around both of those bugs. I have a fix for
GetRepositoryCache but it is kind of ugly. The other bug is harder which
is why I just added back the ignoring of the error.
