zypper and YaST can't see the Packman repository
Now that I've upgraded to Leap 15.2, I'm trying to re-add the Packman repository, but when I try to refresh it, zypper tells me | █ zypper ref -r Packman | Retrieving repository 'Packman' metadata .................................................................................................

I also tried disabling privoxy, but that didn't help. Is there some sort of cache entry that needs to be purged? I've never seen this before. Leslie --

Yes, http works, https does not. Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

In the past, I've had problems with the repository on gwdg.de. Since changing to use the one at http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ I've had no problems at all.

I cannot remember a url https for a repo. more than likely his problem. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode

(see attached)
The list of community repositories that YaST can add is a file served from somewhere, and sometimes it fails. I don't know exactly where this file is. But, asking YaSt to do its magic and examining the log at that precise instant reveals it: Telcontar(23760) [Ruby] clients/inst_productsources.rb:590 Downloading list of repos from https://opensuse-community.org/openSUSE_Leap_152_Community_Additional.xml This minute, it works :-)
However, I'm able to browse to https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ and view its contents. I also tried disabling privoxy, but that didn't help.
That's a different error. It is possible that you have to use http and not https. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
