Hi Ken,
When trying to upgrade my 7.0 and 7.1 servers I am receiving errors downloading the java updates and the glibc-2.2-17 updates. the files appear to download completely and then an error message pops up stating there was an error downloading the files.
Did you try the update with YOU? I've the same problem with big files (glibc and java are BIG :-) ) in YOU. Try to get the files manually (e.g. with wget) and install them with "rpm -Uhv xxx.rpm". That worked for me. After that, you have to rename the respective files in /var/lib/YaST/patches/ARCH/update/RELEASE/patches/ from *.new or *.error to *.installed, so that YOU does not try to get them again. Any help how to solve (and not just work-around) the problem is appreciated, too... ;-) -- MfG, Chr. Erpelding ce-data Datentechnik
