I have opensuse-11.4 64Bit, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD series and KDE 4.6.0. My system has been running without any problem until recently when the zypper command started behaving strangely. Apparently, newly added repositories dont have the shell script for execution to build the cache. I generally get the following error:
# zypper wp R-base
Building repository 'Tumbleweed' cache [done]
Error building the cache:
'repo2solv.sh' '-o' '/var/cache/zypp/solv/Tumbleweed/solv' '/var/cache/zypp/raw/Tumbleweed'
Can't exec 'repo2solv.sh' (No such file or directory).
Warning: Disabling repository 'Tumbleweed' because of the above error.

I used Tumbleweed as an example but this happens for any repo that I add, besides, Tumbleweed has been working fine and still does on the laptop with similar specs but an Intel graphics card. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks yasar11732, the troubleshooting worked and the trouble never shot back. I however modified the last code and gave read, write and execute rights to root. Thanks again. Out of curiosity, do you know why the script could have disappeared all of a sudden?
Actually I was curious about the same thing. Didn’t make much sense to me neither. Do you have a 8 year old brother which happens to know your root password perhaps?
Edit: It may have something to do with your Tumbleweed system, ancient myths says us that it might have unstable
The 8-year old brother with my root password might happen to be my drunken self. Anyway I read somewhere that Tumbleweed wasn’t very stable yet. Bless you.
