This problem is known, a patch is expected to be available next week. (The patch is actually already done, but needs some testing.)

This problem might disappear after running

rpm --rebuilddb

if you're lucky.

Maybe, but this time (SUSE 10.1) is really a special case because of all the changes. Stay tuned for updates next week.

Which mirrors did you try so far?

You might want to try these load-balancers instead of specifying real mirrors:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1 (regular inst_source)
http://download.suse.com/update/10.1 (patches and updates)

They will redirect you to a good mirror, if everything works as it should.

You're not alone with that. ;-)
