Hi list,
some days ago I also stumbled with some errors related to accessing some repositories. It might have been the Google one, I can't remember now...
Today, just 10 min ago, I wanted to check for updates using "yast2 sw_single" and the following error message popped up:
--
There was an error in the repository initialization. Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: - SKIP reqest: User-requested skipping of a file - File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/11.0/'--
So, as this is the second repository affected I'm wondering if you people are suffering the same "symptoms" maybe with the same repository as me (VideloLAN) or with others...
I hope it's just a temporary problem and gets fixed automagically the same way it happened to the Google repository some days ago...
Comments??
I haven't been getting this one but recently have been getting the following:
zypper refresh; zypper -n update -t package ... Downloading: oxygen-icon-theme-scalable-4.1.1-53.3.noarch.rpm [error (217.9 K/s)] Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU...': Error code: Unrecognized error Error message: transfer closed with 2066249 bytes remaining to read
Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]: a Downloading: repomd.xml [done] Problem downloading the package file from the repository: Can't provide ./noarch/oxygen-icon-theme-scalable-4.1.1-53.3.noarch.rpm : Media Exception Repository 'openSUSE_BuildService_-_KDE4' is out of date. Running 'zypper refresh' might help. I can do another zypper refresh and get the same error. Sometimes I've ended up downloading the file manually and installing it with rpm, othertimes it will eventually get it all down and install fine. It seems to mostly happen if there is a lot of packages to download and it seems to happen mostly with larger packages. Not sure if it is related or not. It happens enough to be annoying but not enough to really pin down.
