I sacrificed another machine (I have 4) in the interest of finding the problem.
The machine was a functioning 10.2 machine. I attached to the FACTORY repo
and replaced ONLY the ZYPPER package (and the libraries it autoselected). It
promptly destroyed the existing repo selections but allowed me to re-add the
FACTORY and all 3 of the repos that A7 cannot communicate with, namely the
Pacman, Guru and VLC repos listed on the OpenSuSE.org website with NO problem
whatsoever. It also allowed me to update the VLC, Mplayer, Xine and XMMS
packages from those sites and resolve all dependencies. As I did NOT replace
any of the YAST2 modules from FACTORY, I am of the conclusion that the 10.2
modules are compatible with the zypper package (which was malfunctioning on
10.2 anyhow) and the problem remaining in A7 is NOT in the zypper module but is
in the module that goes to the third party repo and gets the repo data to add
to the local database. In 10.2, the module works with whatever data is
available in all three of those sites, but A7 it doesn't work at any of them.
I tried A7 in FTP and HTTP modes with identical results so it is content, not
protocal. The machine I sacrificed is now a hybrid and is quite happy.
