I have had the same problem (with the same files as listed in the examples
here) since upgrading to 11.4.
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.
