I'm certainly no expert on OpenSuSE repositories, But When I asked about them on this list somebody gave me a fairly extensive list including the above. But now this one causes errors when I attempt to use yast2's "Online Update" tool.

Has something untoward happened to this repo or what?????

This repo ha been deleted and all packages archived until some maintainer cares to support them.

Hmmm then since as I just discovered when I tried to browse:

http://opensuse.ca.unixheads.org/repositories/KDE:/

that:

Firefox can't find the server at opensuse.ca.unixheads.org.

Does that mean that I may as well remove any repositories from opensuse.ca.unixheads.org??? (Such as their "tools" repo that I had to disable today to avoid errors on yast software manager startup...)

Or is this a separate problem??

Looks like you have some internet connection / dns issues, cause opensuse.ca.unixheads.org is working for me.

In any case, it is better to directly use download.opensuse.org whenever possible - that will point you to the best available mirror anyway.

Well no DNS problems here and it get the cant find server treatment so that would suggest there be a problem somewhere there be Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 12:57 up 8 days 16:55, 3 users, load average: 1.11, 0.72, 0.36 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try unixhead.org to find out why it doesn't work anymore. Perhaps Tejas was getting a cached copy of the site.

Duh. Need to wake up before typing away. http://unixheads.org will show why the site is no longer available. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmnn when I type unixhead.org as unixheads.org I get a graphic fair well message about all good things coming to an end. So I suspect you may be right about Tejas getting a cached copy...

It also answers my question about keeping anything "unixheads" in my repo list...

Yup, I'm getting a 404 too now. Dunno who was providing it to me before, sorry for the noise. Anyway, just switch those repos to download.opensuse.org , and everything will be fine !

But not for me, so this isn't localised, can you post up the exact URL that you used?
