Now when I try to install, (after using create_package_descr -d x86_64 -x
/srv/ftp/ftp10-2/ftp10-2/CD1/suse/setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV), I'm getting the
following error:

ftp://10.3.163.253/ftp10-2/ftp10-2/CD1/
Source metadata is invalid
ftp://10.3.163.253/ftp10-2/ftp10-2/CD1//suse/setup/descr/packages
fails checksum verification

Did I run create_package_descr incorrectly?

I googled for this, and found a few hits, but they all seemed to be people
asking the same question - I didn't see any solutions.

Anyone have any suggestions?
