Using zypper upgrade, or Yast doesn't seem to make any difference, the download stalls. It would appear from the messages that a partial file is downloaded in some examples, but the directory entry stored on the system shows 0 bytes. The error message using zypper update shows only a partial file specification, for example: /suse/i586/qt3-3.3.8b-111.1.i586.rpm full file description example: http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...111.1.i586.rpm It is not possible to download the file on the target 11.4 system using Firefox. The download stalls. However, it is possible to use this same full file specification listed in the zypper update to download the file from Firefox on another computer, in my case, a SuSE 11.2 machine. It is then possible to copy the file from the other system into a directory tree that reflects the shortened path as shown above, and from top of the directory tree run "zypper refresh", followed by "zypper update" to install the file. If "zypper update" is not run from the directory at the top of the directory tree, zypper attempts to download the file, which fails. I have noticed in a couple of instances that zypper downloads the file, but is able to do so and complete the installation without stalling if the file is already on the system as described. By this time, a number of sub-directories have been created to hold update files: /Essentials/i586/ /rpm/i586 /suse/i586 ./suse/i686/ ./suse/noarch/ Searching the internet using a search engine shows similar problems with earlier SuSE versions (and other varieties of Linux). However, I have been unable to find any resolution. Search using the terms 'SuSE 11.4 Download (curl) error for: Can't provide'. My apologies if that leads to a goose chase, but it lead me to comments regarding this issue from other users. Upgrade attempts from runlevel 3 produce the same result.
