[opensuse] Defunct Packman Repository
I had packman.linuxheads.com as the repository for packman. In yast2 I have changed to the new repository from the list given. But when I start yast2 software manager it sits for ages still trying to get connected to packman.linuxheads.com until it timeouts then proceeds to correctly use the new settings. Where is it getting this old info from? Dave Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you're talking about packman.unixheads.com, unixheads stopped providing mirror service - there was a thread about it here "What happened to the opensuse.ca.unixheads.org mirror?".

That is my whole whole point. I do not have linuxheads configured as a packman repository I removed it but yast2 but not zypper insists on trying to connect to linuxheads.

I'd do:
cd /etc/ ; find . -type f | xargs egrep "unixheads.com"
and see if you can find any files that still point to that host.
then backup/mv/rm as needed. I'd suspect that there's something
still in a .repo file, but I'm not sure how/why it'd act different for
zypper and yast, nor what the real 'SuSEized' fix/way to find the repo
would be.

The problem is probably a bad url in one of your /etc/zypp/repos.d/* files
grep -i heads.com /etc/zypp/repos.d/*
Then just edit the file that still has the bad url and change it to what you want:
baseurl=

then 'zypper ref'
or..
Once you identify the file in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ , just delete it and then re-create the pacman repo.
linuxheads.com does not appear in any of these files and 'zypper up' works perfectly, it's only yast2 that has the problem. Dave Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Once corrected both yast2 and zypper show ftp.uni-erlangen.de as the packman repository. But on startup yast2 persists in trying to contact packman.linuxheads.com until it timeouts because it's owned by a squatter. I've entered a dummy ip address in /etc/hosts for packman.linuxheads.com so it fails immediately and yast2 works correctly after complaining as it should that the files it wants are not at that URL. The question still rests where is yast2 getting packman.linuxheads.com from?

check in: /etc/zypp/repos.d/ It has every repo added as 1 file. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Checked there, there is no file named anything like linuxheads and non of the files there contains any reference to linuxheads. Dave Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe something stale in /tmp ?? Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Good thought but I've always had /etc/sysconfig/crom set to remove everything from /tmp on boot and the machine has rebooted. Dave Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
