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? > I've disected it some and found that curl with ah -L option goes right > on through these redirects and will pull good files. > > But I can't find a way to make online_update call curl with a -L option. 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.
