Mmmmkay, strange. So, here is how this works: * we have 4 individual/separate repositories that have their own metadata and, hence, are repositories in their own right: * Essentials * Multimedia * Extra * Games Note that all of them rely on Essentials, so if you add e.g. Multimedia or Extra, you *must* also add Essentials. To add one of those: $ zypper ar \ http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Essentials/packman-essentials.repo or $ zypper ar \ http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Multimedia/packman-multimedia.repo * we also have one "big" repository that has the metadata of *all* the packages, which means all of those that are in Essentials, Multimedia, Extra and Games -- this is for people who prefer to just add one repository and have everything they used to have with Packman before we changed the repository layout; this does not duplicate any packages, we simply aggregate the metadata of all the RPM files in the subdirectories To add the "big" repository: $ zypper ar \ http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3/packman.repo That being said, we have indeed been working on that repository layout switch, and Marc Schiffbauer and I spent a few nights hacking on it -- it's particularily non trivial to avoid having mirrors that pull files from the repositories while our build server pushes files into the same tree. We finally managed to finalize it today, so you most probably ran into such an inconsistency. Please try again, and let us know whether you're still running into that issue. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
