Hmm.  I was messing with something similar today with another customer.  I 
wound up doing an "rm /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/media.1/*" command and then things 
started working again for me.  What's the version of yast2-packagemanager on 
that system?

If the above doesn't get you back on track, I would think that a very ugly hack 
of renaming /usr/bin/curl to /usr/bin/curl.bin, and creating a shell script 
named /usr/bin/curl that invoked /usr/bin/curl.bin with the -L ahead of the 
rest of the parms might get you by.  Just don't call me/us if it breaks.  :)  
Try the other workaround first.
