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, You are wellcome. In any case try another url or packman mirror before going to something harder. Check out one of these packman mirrors that works better for you (closer to your region) http://packman.links2linux.org/mirrors Regards, -- Ricardo Chung | Panama openSUSE Linux Ambassador openSUSE 11.4 | KDE 4.7 | Mesa-Nouveau 3D Linux for Education -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
