Replying to [comment:7 diver]:
> Actually, after about 10 seconds pkgman let me do it. Is there a reason
for fetching repository checksum on uninstall?
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.
