I agree that there is a problem, but not sure which exact one.

E.g. the github issue is about libgcrypt20-32bit-1.8.2-8.39.1.x86_64.rpm and I see plenty of mirrors are having that file:

https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/sle-sp1/x86_64/libgcrypt20-32bit-1.8.2-8.39.1.x86_64.rpm.mirrorlist

The backports folder /update/leap/15.3/backports/ is empty in the location from where the mirrors sync, so most probably the files were just deleted, so removed from the mirrors as well.

I don't know whether it was on purpose or by mistake. Maybe you can point me to place in documentation or something similar which says that files must be there?

Regards,

Hi,
about a month ago Marcus Meissner reported to this list that
http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports/ was not mirrored.
As of today, the mirroring is still not happening.
Example:
  https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports/
  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports/
are empty.

This is affecting me and many others as well when trying to build packages for openSUSE Leap 15.3.

There's an issue filed in Mock about the empty repo breaking things: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/issues/750

Can someone please look into fixing this?
