Got it, thanks.
So, we are not speaking about 404 errors (file not found), not 504.
The mirror in question was distro.ibiblio.org.
I already see that there is a mismatch between what the mirror database
believes is present on that mirror and what's actually there. This may
be due to conflicting syncs done by the mirror, or some other error on
their side. They sync from the opensuse-hotstuff-160gb module, but the
entire /factory subdirectory is entirely missing from their tree at the
moment.
(152.46.7.122 tribal.metalab.unc.edu is the machine pulling from us.
I've contacted ibiblio.org about this, so they will hopefully look into
it soon. And I rescanned the mirror a minute ago to update our
database.)
Note, this is exactly the kind of errors that
http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover deals with intelligently (among
other type of errors that it handles too). Hopefully everybody starts
seeing the relevance of this!
Sidenote, it would be extremely valuable if zypper/yast would show the
URL where the mirror happened. See
https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305320
It would be so much easier for us to debug these things.........
