Zypper/Yast problems - can't use or refresh repositories

English Applications

I’m having a lot of difficulty using zypper. For example:

zypper in xournal

returns:

“Retrieving package xournal-0.4.2.1-1.80.i586 (1/1), 187.0 K (454.0 K unpacked)
Media source ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/’ does not contain the desired medium”

This is an error - the package does indeed exist.
And the command:

zypper ref

returns

“Retrieving repository ‘openSUSE111’ metadata [error]
Repository ‘openSUSE111’ is invalid.
File /var/tmp/TmpFile.GkyLfF doesn’t contain public key data
Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid repository.
Skipping repository ‘openSUSE111’ because of the above error.”

an similarly for openSUSE111_NonOSS and packman.

When I try to update the repositories using Yast, using Add/Community Repositories, Yast returns an error:

“Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined.”

So I’m a little stuck here - can anybody help my system use zypper?

Thanks,
-A.

Hi
Your possibly being directed to a flaky mirror. You can just disable
your oss, non-oss and update repositories pointing to
download.opensuse.org and re create using mirrors close to you from
this link;

Thanks, but when I try that, I get a Yast error message saying

“There were errors while restoring the repository configuration.
Parse error”

So not only have I disabled my repositories - I now can’t seem to create new ones!
