[opensuse] Major problem with update sources! System trashed, unable to update new install
There appears to be a problem with the update source at: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ and by definition mirrors thereof. On Friday, I accepted an update offered by the updater as usual. During the update, several errors were displayed, but the update continued. Once the update was finished, I had a crash of evolution when I tried to send a mail. So I rebooted, and to cut a long story short, found out that hundreds of core packages had been uninstalled, including rpm itself. I can provide a URL to download the zipped log from the fateful update session on request. After re-installing from scratch (no luck with repair), I find that I can't install an update source due to the same error that seems to have triggered the mass-uninstall in the first place. The checksum on patch-fetchmsttfonts.sh-4347.xml appears to be wrong. YaST won't install the update source because of this. Is anyone working on fixing this? My system got hosed and I can't even re-install to the same level. Thankfully all my personal data is OK. (Regular backups). I hope that I am the only one hit by this.....

I haven't have any problem. The "download..." place is a redirector, so the actual site you get the updates from is different, and changes. There is a selector in YOU to see what it is going to actually install/remove. I always check it before giving the go ahead. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
