Zypper (zypper ar) or adding software repositories under "Yast > Software Repositories" fails with a curl error 407. The problem is because curl doesn't read the proxy authentication information (username/password). The problem is in the /root/.curlrc file. The autogenerated file contains: --------------------------------------------- # Changed by YaST2 module proxy 09/19/07 --proxy-user "username:password" --proxy "http://proxy.domain.com:8080" --------------------------------------------- This file is missing the "=" (equal to) sign between the name and the value. I modified this file manually to: --------------------------------------------- # Changed by YaST2 module proxy 09/19/07 --proxy-user = "username:password" --proxy = "http://proxy.domain.com:8080" --------------------------------------------- After adding the = sign in this file, it works fine. This is a show stopper bug. Until this is fixed, users behind a corporate firewall cannot update their opensuse 10.3 installation, making it unable to apply security updates. Hence, I mark this as high priority. Please update the Suse proxy configuration tool to generate the /root/.curlrc file correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
