Is this just a glitch, or will the YaST repository remain behind the other section of the Guru's repository?

Thanks for the information.
So, change ftp to ftp4 in your YaST installation source configuration if you run into inconsistencies, but be aware that you extend my pain each time you use it. ;-))
Death by a thousand cuts, eh?
Sorry. I will exercise patience.
Is there a mirror for the YaST-compatible Guru's RPM Repository? Surely some of the popular mirrors would make enough space available, wouldn't they?
Come on, just change ftp to ftp4 and go on. 1000 OpenSUSE users more or less a day really is peanuts. ;-)) Even more: if you all would start your YOU at the same time, it can be very efficient because the second YOU'er already hits a buffer cache match (and so on). So let's try: please as many as possible of the readers here (but nowhere else ;-)) change their YOU and/or YaST installation source to ftp4, and let the 0 minute of each full hour be the moment to trigger installation or update. I will report here if I see an effect. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
