I am trying to update from the SuseFactory repo and this usually works, up until about a week ago. What do i do to fix this?
Do not ever use Factory with any stable release. Use X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3 repo.
That is the one I always use, or more precisely: download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ and I get the same. I also get other errors at times. They float around a bit. Sometimes it looks like it wants a newer glibc than the one that comes with 10.3. I expect a bit of fun when doing this, so I just accept it and wait. Compiz has been odd for a week or two. In the process, it broke my previously working compiz. No panic as I only use it for fun. But I, too, look forward to a compiz suite that will actually install on 10.3.
See the release announcements of 11.0, it has details about rpm payload changing to lzma.
