we have problems doing a local build against our own OBS. It seems like osc tries to fetch the base packages from a location which is not available on our OBS. See below:

Can anybody tell me how this must be configured? I've already searched the websides, but I don't find a solution to this.

Thanks in advance,

I am assuming that you *do* know a place where the package would be found? There used to be a config directive for .oscrc which could define URL templates that would be tried in order when downloading packages. However, I can't find it anymore. I think nowadays the URL that the client should use for downloading is not configured locally anymore, but it is configured in the buildservice server and transmitted to the client when it requests the "build info" for building. Therefore I would presume that it is possible in your buildservice instance to define this URL. If the URL is correct, it should lead to a working download.
