Anybody know how to fix this?
Jim,
I just went there and I can get to the rpms. Most likely, you got a bad mirror or one that was down when you tried. (I have experienced this problem repeatedly over the past 2 months) All I can tell you to do is to go to the repo with a web browser and then click on 'Mirrors' to find a direct server instead of the redirector and then add the direct server as the repo instead of the general 'download.opensuse.org' site. While I was there, I grabbed the link to the mirrors for you for the dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_10.3 repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_10.3 /home:dgege:fprint.repo?mirrorlist
I have had real good luck with this approach.
Dave, I tried the link you graciously provided and got a list of 5 mirrors, from which I chose: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_1... and http://widehat.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dgege:/fprint/openSUSE_10.3/h... If I include the "home:dgege:fprint.repo" in the repository path, yast says the repository cannot be created. Omitting the "home:dgege:fprint.repo" works as far as configuring the repository, but using either mirror still results in the original error message. Any other ideas anyone? TIA. -- Jim
