Wouldn't this also happen during a normal installation? (it sounds to me as if ZYPP_MULTICURL=0 cures the symptom, but not the problem).
I did the install from an ISO image. I did not choose to do updates at that time because I knew I could not specify ZYPP_MULTICURL=0 to the installer. So I thought I would do the updates after install.
Ah, I see - I am so unaccustomed to installing from physical media that I forget they exist :-(
It is big RPMs that seem to be most effected.
Big files are often broken into multiple downloads, one segment each. For instance, if an rpm is 16Mb, it could be downloaded as 16 x 1Mb segments from 16 different mirrors. It played merry hell with our squid cache until I figured out what was going on.
For example, my update wants texlive-cm-super-fonts. It gets to +90% percent, and then immediately fails, retires to 90%, fails, etc.
I'll have to check one of my machines, but others should be seeing this too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
