Hi,
Finally fixed the problem. Here is what I did in case some else is interested.
1) install suse 10.1 2) upgrade the broken yast libzypp rpms from suse/update/10.1 just download the rpms and do an rpm -Uhv or something. 3) Also install createrepo rpm 4) all I did now was run createrepo
cd /scratch/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source createrepo .
5) now i can add my local suse mirror as a install source. /root# rug sa --type=zypp http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ opensuse-local
/root# rug subscribe opensuse-local Subscribed to 'opensuse-local'
Any idea why the SL-10.1/inst-source/repodata dir and files are not on the main opensuse site so that they can be part of the mirror?
This worked for me but is there a better way? Any one else having problems with yast?
thanks Rene
It is my understanding the repodata is used for the updates: http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/updates/10.1/ (or where the updates folder resides). I have the boxed version 10.1 and here is where my repodata is located: http://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/update/10.1/ Hope that helps! t o n y -- A.G. (Tony) Nichols I.S.
