404 error for /repodata/repomd.xml

English Install/Boot/Login

Since today I get this error from zypper:

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/'

Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.

Is there a problem with the download page? http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/repodata/repomd.xml does not exist and gives a 404 error.

I just did “zypper refresh”, and everything seemed to work.

Maybe try again. It could be a temporary error. Or perhaps you are being redirected to a broken mirror.

#3

I did that for the past few hours

The domain does resolve to 195.135.221.134 here, according to the whois a SUSE-owned IP.

#4

To get a 404, you do have to successfully connect.

Since I am not getting a 404, that suggests that we are connecting to different places.

However, I do have IPv6 available here. So perhaps it is working for me because of using an IPv6 connection.

Hi
No issues here either…

@OP, do you get here;
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/repodata/repomd.xml.mirrorlist

Could be perhaps your ISP DNS servers playing up?

#6

I found out that the problem is only the non-oss repo.

And for non-oss I do not find the repodata directory here: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/suse/
I also don not see the repodata on mirrors like this one: http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/suse/

As I wrote the download.opensuse.org IP resolves to 195.135.221.134 here, this is also the answer I get from Novell’s authoritative DNS servers.

Hi
So if you look at the output from zypper lr -Ed for it to look at that
Type column it sounds like it’s rpm-md, in this case it’s oss and
non-oss should be of type yast2.

Hi
There have been a few threads about this… not sure, maybe someone testing to see if can switch to a standard repo, rather than snapshots…
