Thanks again for explanations. Not sure that this is my issue. The problem is that when I select these repositories using ¨Filter¨ Repositories, I see no packages at all... (e.g. in KDE:Qt46, wine snapshots and so on). My impression is that these repositories undergo some changes today. I´m getting something new almost every time, like message about wrong type of checksum (it has already been discussed on the list). Probably I´ll need to wait for some time. Anyway, tried adding AllowVendorChange = true to zypp.conf - nothing changed. Probably this is not applicable to 11.1
Well, You can always try to download them to your box and then installing them with rpm -Uvh. The easiest way is to use 'lynx -dump' to get a listing of the rpms, then save the list as a txt file and use the list as the getfile for 'wget -i getfile -b' and let wget download the rpms for you. At one time I had a script that automated this, but I don't know where it is currently. But basically use lynx -dump and sed as follows: lynx -dump http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/<repo-you-want>/openSUSE_11.0/i586/ | sed -e 's/^......//' that will give you a list like this: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... <snip> Then just cut & paste what you want into a text file (i.e. getfile.txt): http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hennichodernich:/backpor... Then just call wget like this: wget -i getfile.txt -b ## -b just sends the process to the background When it's done, if you have the files isolated in a directory, then just: rpm -Uvh dirToFiles/*.rpm done... -- David C.
