I tried bringing up Online Update earlier this evening. The module
window came up, and I got the usual series of popups ("Parsing
files...", etc). Then I got an error popup. When I requested details,
I got something like
File /repodata/patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml not found on media:
http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2
If I tried to Skip or Abort, YaST would go a little further and then
hang. There would be a popup "Reading translation: packages.en" at
100%, but no other activity. Closing the popup would make the Online
Update window go away.
I ran into similar problems with Software Management and Online Update
Configuration.
I thought it was a problem with the utah.edu mirror, so I searched for a
way to remove it from my catalog list. For some reason, I forgot to try
Installation Source. I did try removing it using "zypper service-delete
http://suse.cs.utah.edu/suse/update/10.2";, but that also complained
about patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml and appeared to fail.
I eventually tried clicking on "Add/Remove Update Sources..." from the
openSUSE Updater (under KDE). That complained about
patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml, too, but it then offered to remove that
source from the source list, which I accepted.
So I can now run Online Update and not have it hang, but I don't have a
source configured for updates. I tried running Online Update
Configuration, and it started to set me up with
http://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/update/10.2, but I
eventually got an error about patch-sylpheed-claws-4511.xml again.
So, two questions:
First, is there something messed up with the 10.2 updates?
Second, can YaST (or the relevant underlying management infrastructure)
be fixed to handle this situation more gracefully?
thanks,
mike
PS. After I drafted this email, I tried Online Update Configuration
again. It set me up with the mirror at tds.net; no errors about
patch-sylpheed-claws.
