Hello Bryan,

Just wanted to let you know that I too have been having this problem for the last several days.

- Ram.

My Susewatcher is always yellow, and it's unable to check for updates, but if I start online update, everything works fine, except for tha last couple of days that is having this problem.

Apologies! What I meant to write was "Eversince, my SuSEwatcher icon has remained green".

Well, mine is still yellow. I checked the susewatcher log, and it says: online_update -k Error retrieving patches: ERROR(You:File has invalid signature.): But if I do the Online Update, it works only if I select "Reload all patches from server", if not, it gives an error of signature on the patch k_deflt-36077 I did a search, and found that this patch is about the Standard Kernel, but I can't re-install it. Anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks, Filipe Joel de Almeida
