Opensuse11.0 Alpha3: Yast2: Onlineupdatefails

installing of os11.0 a3 worked fine.
then i added two repositories:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...t-source-extra/
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...st-source/suse/

Trying to install/update something allways (no matter what packeage (i tried several)) leads to following msg:
example smart-0.52-28.2.x66_64.rpm:

Installation of package ./x66_64/smart-0.52-28.2.x66_64.rpm failed
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

2008-04-05 02:04:14 smart-ksmarttray-0.52-70.x86_64.rpm install failed
rpm output:

trying the same with smart with smart-0.52-70.x86_64.rpm:

I have recently tried to install some packages from Factory on my OpenSuse 10.3, and I also got this "Bad magic" error. So I think it's a problem with Factory, rather than with Suse.

this might be true because installing additional packages from dvd os11.0 a3 works fine.

What do you think where i have to post this problem?

To be honest, I have no idea at all, as I use the Factory repo very rarely, after having some bad experiences with it
OpenSuse Wiki contains information about mailing list (http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_Distributio...ry_Distribution), maybe it's a good idea to post it there

The cpio bad magic error is a simple fix of updating "rpm" package itself.

this should fix your problem. it is due to how the new kernel is compiled.

Choose the right architect though. good luck

I have found that out of all the Repos I added from their Repository site using 10.3 repo's etc + using the automatic tool in yast that Maybe only 1 or 2 Repo's if lucky worked ,& all the rest gave me the Bad Magic error.
I cant believe this has been going on for so long after all the complaints on all the Suse Forums I have searched & nothing has been done.
It makes it preety useless to do an upgrade or even update pkgs etc if needed.
The worse part about it is ,it Downloads the Packages first one by one before it finds the error which means not only do you have to cancel each pkg one by one but if you downloaded a large pkg like a game Data pkg etc you have to wait til its finished downloading it to find out if its OK..
I hope Suse fixes this soon as it can be hell trying to install pkgs using command line with dependencies instead.
AnyWay I think its more than just to do with Factory as I never had this problem before using 10.3 repositopries that I can remember & not just the 11 repos or what ever they are.

Thank you for all your replies.

Upgrading opensuse 11.0 alpha3 to beta1 (last weekend) solved the problem.
