Hi Rodney,

In 10.3 there is only

/var/cache/zypp/raw (directory) and zypp.db in /var/cache/zypp (no packages 
directory)


I moved everything to another subdirectory (/var/cache/zypp/backup), started to 
rebuild the repo with yast, and only the DVD was added. Any external source 
produces the error. 

Btw, df -h is all ok with space (the first place I normally look for such 
strange behaviour).
