Ah, 32bit-*-*.x86_64.pat is referenced in the file
inst-source/suse/setup/descr/patterns.
Checking the mirror list for the file with
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/setup/descr/patterns?mirrorlist
I find 3 out of 16 mirrors with an outdated "pattern" file referencing
a *.pat file which doesn't exist anymore (32bit-10.2-147.x86_64.pat).
The thing is that the redirector (or rather, the scanner) has no way of
finding out whether a pattern file on a mirror is up to date or not.
This still should not lead to problems because redirection is "sticky"
to particular mirrors for 30 minutes, _but_
1) if that time has passed, or
2) if the pattern file is being cached locally,
download.opensuse.org could later redirect to a different mirror which
might not have the referenced file.
(But the redirector _always_ checks for existance of a file on a given
mirror before redirecting to it, so if _any_ mirror still has the file
it will be used. But this does only happen if the file exists locally on
download.opensuse.org, because we don't redirect for non-existing files.
Thus, it doesn't help in this case.)
Christoph and I had the idea to generally exclude files from redirecting
which have no digits in the filename -- and thus are not "versioned".
Either we do that, or we should not redirect for "pattern" files.
There is also a file named "packages" which contains data changing with
package updates. Problem is, "packages" is a pretty large file (16MB).
Maybe we want to limit the redirection for this file only for Factory,
where it changes frequently.
