Phani, You are wellcome.
thank you.
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
thanks, i'll probably do that. in my case i found out that the problem apparently lies with my proxy server. (i'm using squid, with an extra ip tabpe and some rules, to use two ISPs simultaneously, via different proxy ports). trying to download the repomd.xml file via wget from a terminal, i got this: --------- phani@phani:~/tmp> wget http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml --2012-04-05 10:44:25-- http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml Connecting to 192.168.1.3:3128... connected. Proxy request sent, awaiting response... No data received. Retrying. --2012-04-05 10:44:26-- (try: 2) http://packman.inode.at/suse/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml Connecting to 192.168.1.3:3128... failed: Connection refused. phani@phani:~/tmp> --------- i'm not sure yet if my own proxy refuses to connect to the URL, or if the server doesn't like the proxy connection coming in. in any case, i could update the packman repo ok after switching off the proxy and using the connection directly. since this didn't happen with other repos, i suspect that whatever server i'm getting packman from is a little special in this regard. i'll try other packman URLs later, so i don't have to switch around my proxy settings every time i want to update packages. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
