It is redirector problem if you use http://download.opensuse.org that we can't do much about, just complain as you did, or use some dependable mirror directly, as I do.
what do you mean? i wasnt using a redirectory back then. i doubt it was working the way it does today. back when i installed that 10.2 system and ran the online update configuration for the first time, it assigns you exactly one update repository. at least it was that way back then. and it was exactly that one outdated mirror server. i had some problems with the box and i was investigating and i found out that that update mirror was many months out of updates. then i re-ran the onlineupdate registration module inside yast2. and it again supplied me with that crap mirror several times, til i finally arrived at those gwdg servers. all i was saying that there is a need of keeping the lists updated what mirrors are reliable and getting rid of unreliable urls/sites from the distribution scripts and so on. again: i think i read about these problems of out-of-date-mirrors and zypper stuff somewhere. i hope this gets fixed and handled more intelligently and dependably in the near future and that older suse versions can still profit from these zypper enhancements. cheers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
