https://status.opensuse.org/ continues to report major outage. :-(

Can someone on 42.3 who is able to make zypper behave as expected using any specific mirror rather than DOO post the content of their OSS and Non-OSS .repo files from /etc/zypp/repos.d/ please?

I started an upgrade from 42.1 to 42.3 on my main system late yesterday. It got almost done, then the mirrors went haywire.

NAICT, the immediate problem has its roots in the "type" line in each .repo file. I saw something about this subject recently on one of the opensuse mailing lists, but have no idea which list or what the context was, and can't remember enough info for a search to find between zero and an infinite number of hits on lists.opensuse.org.

Examining the content of these files, these are the possible types:

yast2 rpm-md none

iirc, the types changed to "rpm-md" but I haven't bothered to change my repos to particular mirror sites. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Vaguely recalling a post Patrick Shanahan made some weeks back with multiple urls in a .repo file, I found one from 7 August, then tried this: [OSS] autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/opensuse/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ http://widehat.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/repo/oss/ enabled=1 keeppackages=0 name=OSS path=/ type=yast2 It works. Zypper is slow on ref or with -v, but at least given enough time what needs doing can get done: # zypper -v in typelib-1_0-UDisks-2_0 Verbosity: 1 Non-option program arguments: 'typelib-1_0-UDisks-2_0' Initializing Target Checking whether to refresh metadata for NonOSS Checking whether to refresh metadata for OSS Checking whether to refresh metadata for Update Checking whether to refresh metadata for UpdateNonOSS Loading repository data...
