https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225056 Summary: Redirection to mirror which doesn't carry updates for architecture Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz QAContact: jsrain@novell.com AMD64 install, after "registering" this vmware virtual machine with Novell, Novell answers with http://ftp.kddilabs.jp/Linux/packages/SuSE/suse/update/10.2/ as mirror to use for updates. This always fails as this particular mirror doesn't have AMD64 updates as there is no rpm/x86_64/ directory. Problem 1: this sends users down a dead end. Untrained users wouldn't know they have to register again to have a chance to fix this automatically (or enter an update source manually). Problem 2: within a short time, Novell deliberately returns the same mirror to the same user, with good reason (to keep update sources consistent). There is no telling yast "this mirror is no good, fetch me the next one please". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
