Thanks so much. That took care of my Linux Yum Server. Everything else slipped into place after that. One follow up question. What is the official SLES10 update server? It was https://update.novell.com and now a patch called switch-update-server changes it to https://nu.novell.com . Also, should YUP be syncing with this new server as well?

I don't know what the root cause is, but if you see an error like "Can't provide /repodata/product.xml" in /var/log/YaST2/y2log, then I have a workaround for you. This will be specific to your server, based on what you put in your email. Anyone else having this problem should adjust accordingly. cd /var/SLES10-YUP/SLES10/s390x/repodata/ ls -l product.xml If the file doesn't exist, download it: curl --digest --remote-time --fail \ 'https://youzmddevice:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/repo/$RCE/SLES10-Updates/sles-10-s390x/repodata/product.xml' -o product.xml "yourzmddevice" should be the contents of /etc/zmd/deviceid. "yourzmdsecret" should be the contents of /etc/zmd/secret. Make sure you put single-quotes around the URL, or escape the $ in $RCE with a backslash. Then try re-adding your YUM server back with rug. It should work now. At least, it worked for me, using update.novell.com.
