[opensuse] 10.2: patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml not found; gums up YaST
I tried bringing up Online Update earlier this evening. The module window came up, and I got the usual series of popups ("Parsing files...", etc). Then I got an error popup. When I requested details, I got something like File /repodata/patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml not found on media: http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2 If I tried to Skip or Abort, YaST would go a little further and then hang. There would be a popup "Reading translation: packages.en" at 100%, but no other activity. Closing the popup would make the Online Update window go away. I ran into similar problems with Software Management and Online Update Configuration. I thought it was a problem with the utah.edu mirror, so I searched for a way to remove it from my catalog list. For some reason, I forgot to try Installation Source. I did try removing it using "zypper service-delete http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2", but that also complained about patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml and appeared to fail. I eventually tried clicking on "Add/Remove Update Sources..." from the openSUSE Updater (under KDE). That complained about patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml, too, but it then offered to remove that source from the source list, which I accepted. So I can now run Online Update and not have it hang, but I don't have a source configured for updates. I tried running Online Update Configuration, and it started to set me up with http://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/update/10.2, but I eventually got an error about patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml again. So, two questions: First, is there something messed up with the 10.2 updates? Second, can YaST (or the relevant underlying management infrastructure) be fixed to handle this situation more gracefully? thanks, mike PS. After I drafted this email, I tried Online Update Configuration again. It set me up with the mirror at tds.net; no errors about patch-sylpheed-claws. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
