[SLE] problem with ftp update in yast
Hello, everyone. I decided to give the "yast system update via ftp" a chance to work its magic. Everything seemed to go OK for about 20 or so packages, then it stopped with the following error: free list corrupt (1307976) contact rpm-list@redhat.com This is in a red bar, so it looks like a pretty bad error. I am also confused by the reference to Red Hat. This machine was a fresh install from my new SuSE 6.3 CDs last night. This machine has never had Red Hat anywhere near it. The problem first cropped up for package afio, so when I re-ran the update, I excluded it from the list. Next time it stopped at alien. Restart the update, omit afio *and* alien, and this time it stopped at aps. I really don't want to have to keep stopping and restarting the job; I would prefer it to go through nice and smoothly all at once. Does anybody have any ideas about this. I checked the SuSE Support DB, and there is nothing there about this that I can find. Any help would be much appreciated.

Stuart.
I have the same problem. It seems to me to be on large files. It hangs
at the end of the file. The same thing happens when I use an ftp client.
I have to resume the download and it imediatly tells me the download is
complete.
It just seems to hang after downloading the file. Most of the ones I have
problems with are 5MB or over.
