This morning, I tried to online update (i.e., get the latest modules) from a 9.3 system connected to sbcglobal.net. Neither apt nor YOU would work. Apt said something about an invalid command (I gathered this error was told by the server). I can understand that when an attempt was made to dialogue with the _specific_ URL I had put in apt's 'sources.list', something could go wrong. But I consider the behavior of YOU to be a bug !! YOU did NOT succeed at "getting a list of mirror servers". Instead of allowing me to choose from the list it had last used, the __only__ entry YOU showed on the 'Installation source' drop-down menu was an entry to repeat the attempt to fetch the list of mirrors. And each such attempt didn't succeed. Let me suggest that being subject to a "single point of failure" (e.g., if the list of mirrors can not be refreshed) is not a good design for SuSE's YOU function. mikus p.s. I *was* able to access U.S. sites with Konqueror, so it was not a TCP/IP problem on my system.
