I was following these instruction to install Skype on openSUSE 13.1 x64: Skype - openSUSE Wiki.
However I am not able to install the downloaded rpm (for openSUSE 12.3 32bit) due to this error:
There was a (possibly temporary) problem connecting to a software origins.
Please check the detailed error for further details.
Details:
File ‘./Essentials/x86_64/libgstinterfaces-0_10-0-32bit-0.10.36-14.3.x86_64.rpm’ not found on medium ‘Index of /pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/13.1/’

Sigh… Why on earth don’t you leave the refresh on automatic? Then you
will not have surprises. The default setting is autorefresh, and it is
so for a reason…

Well some folks does not have the bandwidth to support autorefresh

I am on a very limited bandwidth, so I should know that. But in that
case it would be a conscious decision of mine, to refresh manually,
once, before each update run, and I would not forget it…
So, I do not disable the automatics because of my limited bandwidth. And
when my total download is also limited then I simply do not update nor
install anything with yast, zypper, or apper…
However, I believe that too many people are disabling autorefresh
without a good enough reason, then they have problems.

Exactly, auto-refresh will only run when trying to install/update
packages. It needs to run to make dure you are in sync with what is
available. And we are only telking a few MB of data.

Well a few MB is what it means to be on a limited bandwidth…

But, in that case, it is a conscious decision and you do not forget to
refresh, at the start of an install/update session.
It doesn’t do any difference:
refresh
update/install
compared to
update/install
The download is the same…
It only makes a difference if you:
update/install
wait half an hour
update/install again
and you have reason to believe there are no changes in that interval.
