All I have been trying, without success, to add additional online repositories through the Yast tool. I have used the community repositories (once) which added the repo's but would always time out when trying to access them etc. I have tried manually adding them: e.g. a Packman mirror site Protocol: http Server: ftp.gwdg.de Directory on Server:/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3 It tries to download the catalogue? and eventually errors with... ---Start error--- Unable to create repository from URL 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3//' History: - Curl error for 'http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.3//repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Error messgae: couldn't connect to host Try again? ---end error--- I have deleted all listed repo's from the configured list, and thought I'd try to add them again from the Community Repositories Yast module... it gets to 33% "Downloading list of online repositories..." and then errors with: ---Start Error--- Warning Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. OK ---End Error--- Can anyone help or have any ideas as I believe that this is also affecting the online updates too.
