Yes, standard error box from Online Update
CANNOT ACCESS INSTALLATION MEDIA
HTTP://DOWNLOAD.OPENSUSE.ORG/UPDATE/11.4/
UPDATES FOR OPENSUSE 11.4 11.4-0 (MEDIUM 1)
CHECK WHETHER THE SERVER IS ACCESSIBLE...
The URL has a .DRPM extension BUT the file exists as a .RPM only...In changing
to a .DRPM file extension and format works well for 12.x....but retrospectively
changing this backways, where only the .RPM file exists in the 11.4
repository.
Some repositories have both the .RPM and the .DRPM file format in the
repository and others only either A .DRPM OR a .DRPM file extension.
In retrospect I dont think anyone should have attempted to apply the .DRPM file
format retrospectively to versions below 12.1 - Its a disaster ...The easiest
way to see this catastrophe is to do a non automated 11.4 KDE vanilla
install....You’ll see it for yourself when all patch/online updates TRY to be
performed.
As such, as most all of the patch updates that are necessary to stabilise the
version are not carried out as the file they call doesn’t exist with the
correct extension.
I'm on an X_64 Install, dont know what type of mess I586 or versions 11.0-11.4
are in as far as update repositories...I havn't even got to adding community
repositories for auto video updates from Nvidia or sound or KDE updates or
Mozilla Updates and god know what else...a retrospective DRPM file format
replacement that has been initiated for past versions to 12.1 should be backed
out as soon as possible...This is very ugly...sorry guys its that bad
