It's not as complex as that!
want I do is at the installation-source
choose to do refresh (using the button labeled edit)
It seems that the refresh switch is not working proprely,because i have it on 
but the refresh is only done through the Edit button.

So want I do is at the installation-source perform a manually refresh of every 
repository but the original instalation source. Then leave the  
installation-source and everything seems to work fine (this worked even 
before the yast update things).
