actually, i can access the URL in a browser, including the .xml file zypper/YAST claim isn't available. the error zypper throws is this:
----------- Download (curl) error for 'http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Unrecognized error Error message: Empty reply from server -----------
has anybody seen this before? it's new to me...
-- phani. Phani, Not sure if this command can help you. su - password: as root type # rpm -v --rebuilddb When it finish try again su -c "zypper patch" or su -c "zypper up" according what you are trying to do.
i've used "rpm --rebuilddb" before, when the rpm DB got messed up, usually because of a system crash due to power outage that the UPS (cheap one, off-line) didn't catch. i didn't think this would help in this case, and it didn't. "rpm -v --rebuilddb" returned immediately, without any output in spite of the -v option -- means the rpm DB was ok. and i'm still getting the same error when zypper tries to refresh the packman repo. it's weird, "empty reply from the server," even though i can see the contents of the file (http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml ) in a browser. next thing i'll remove the packman repo & all it's cached contents, then re-add it. if that doesn't help, i'll try packman from a different URL. many thanks for trying though, -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
