HI all,

When I use package search webpin under Yast I always get an 404 server not found error. Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it. BTW I'm running 12.1.

Thanks,

JIM You don't read all the posts in this list, do you? :-)

The servers at opensuse are down and are being replaced and the backup data has to be written back.

However, requests to the downed servers are being redirected to another site which may be overloaded causing your error message.

BC No I don't read them all. But I do look at the headers and I did see this one and read it. BUT my problem has been ongoing for much longer than just having the servers down. BTW from the way I understand webpin there are more than just the Suse servers, so should it not just go to the next server when the first is down?

I have no idea who any redirections on openSUSE work. The only thing I do know is that you can look at the list of mirrors for oS and then alter the repos list in YaST to those you want to use. In something like K/Ubuntu you are able to allow the system find the best URL for your system updates.

I agree with JIM: webpin error is older than recent network issue on opensuse.org domain.

He probably filters them ...

Back to the question... Webpin is not being maintained and has not worked for a few releases and likely will be dropped unles someone steps up to maintain it. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
