The URL has a .DRPM extension BUT the file exists as a .RPM only...In changing to a .DRPM file extension and format works well for 12.x....but retrospectively changing this backways, where only the .RPM file exists in the 11.4 repository. Some repositories have both the .RPM and the .DRPM file format in the repository and others only either A .DRPM OR a .DRPM file extension. In retrospect I dont think anyone should have attempted to apply the .DRPM file format retrospectively to versions below 12.1 - Its a disaster ...The easiest way to see this catastrophe is to do a non automated 11.4 KDE vanilla install....You’ll see it for yourself when all patch/online updates TRY to be performed. As such, as most all of the patch updates that are necessary to stabilise the version are not carried out as the file they call doesn’t exist with the correct extension. I'm on an X_64 Install, dont know what type of mess I586 or versions 11.0-11.4 are in as far as update repositories...I havn't even got to adding community repositories for auto video updates from Nvidia or sound or KDE updates or Mozilla Updates and god know what else...a retrospective DRPM file format replacement that has been initiated for past versions to 12.1 should be backed out as soon as possible...This is very ugly...sorry guys its that bad -- 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.
