The source at the specified URL now provides a different media ID. If the URL is correct, this indicates that the source content has changed. To continue using this source, start Change Source of Installation from the YaST control center and refresh the installation source.

The URL is ok, but how can Packman not be found ?

The error message which you pasted in describes exactly how to fix the problem. It's not that packman can't be found - the media ID has changed and you must do a "refresh" so that yast knows what is on the changed media.

Oh yes right Stephan, and thanks for refreshing my memory. I just have to set "OFF" to "ON" for being refreshes :-) Can you tell me the URL and path for the updates for KDE in Yast ?

i unfortunately don't know them. After fighting with zmd/smart/etc, i have hosed my update tools so badly that i can't do updates on this machine, so i haven't bothered with the KDE updates... waiting on Suse 10.2 for that.

Google is your friend, though:

When i asked him "suse 10.1 kde rpms", he said:

http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/suse-101-kde-354-available/

Ok Stephan, but what I wanted is the same, but for SuSE 10.0 Pro.

Hello Ian Thansk for teh reply. I tried it now by using smart, but this failed: error: Failed to download packages: error: http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0/i586/kdeacce...: timed out It has worked ok on all but the last file. I now tried to put in the repo in the Yast Software Media, but cannot get it in. Would You please have a look here, and give me a comment on it ?: http://www.urbakken.dk/kde.jpg Erik Jakosben

It looks like you have a space between "KDE :". That almost certainly shouldn't be there.

Had same problem. On advice from this list, I shutdown the zmd backend ( rczmd stop ) clobbered everything in /var/lib/zmd, and /var/lib/zypp, went into Yast and defined some installation repositories, (precisely these two: http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1... http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/suse/update/10.1 and re-started zmd rczmd start From that point it worked well, including last night's upgrade of some of the zypp libraries and various parts of yast. After last nights upgrade of the zypp/yast a subsequent upgrade of additional packages went VERY fast. (Almost Yast-like speed !!) I'm hoping it stays fixed. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

10.0 worked ok, but there were some problems the other day, and probably they have occured due to it has been almost 3 month ago since I have had it switched on. Then there has been many updates during this time, and my experiences tells me, that this is not a problem with Yast, but I beleive it is with smart.

IMHO, Smart has not withstood the test of time. I think people rushed to it when zmd/zypp was so horribly broken and pre-maturely released. Therefore I've avoided it. I think i'd trust Fou4s more. http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/ But I finally got the whole zmd/zypp thingie working. You are right, there have been a rash of kernel updates lately, way too many for my tastes. (Mostly not Suse's fault). Some things I run, (VMWare, MythTv, etc) require a bit of hacking to get running after a a kernel update, so unless there are remote exploits, I hold off till a convenient time. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I suggest you bookmark this page as it covers the majority of repositories for packages relating to SuSE Linux.

http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_package_repository

Hello Graham. Very nice URL, and thanks. By the way, what does it mean in the Yast Software Management > Package Gropus>zzz all, that I have a blue line with a software installed, but there's a lockindicator at the beginning ?. Was another matter. Hope for foregivenes. Erik

Hello Graham.

Very nice URL, and thanks.

By the way, what does it mean in the Yast Software Management > Package Gropus>zzz all, that I have a blue line with a software installed, but there's a lockindicator at the beginning ?.

If a package is shown in blue it means that there is an update to it. The lock indicator is not really relevant since SuSE changed the way the repositories worked - different meta-data to cover smart and Yum. Previously all KDE packages were under the supplementary directory and had I believe different meta-data suitable for Yast only.

Please look at this site for full details on how to update http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16592.html

Also I have noted that the updates can be really slow to download. I expect that some of the mirrors are either hopelessly swamped or under resourced. The easiest solution I have found if it is taking forever to read the packages is to abort (kill) the process and start again with fingers crossed.

Does that mean, that the lock indicator can be just removed or ?. I know, that a blue color means, that the part in blue has an update available. What deos SuSE in fact do, as You say its not really relevant ?. Do You mean, that it's not relevant, that SuSE sets a lock indicator ?. Is it a misunderstanding using smart one day, and Yats another one ?. I'll have a look at the URL. Thanks for it. The last one is like closing ones eyes, and hope all wents ok ;-) Erik
