Cannot update OpenSUSE TW (404 error on openSUSE-build-key-1.0-68.1.x86_64.rpm)

English Install/Boot/Login

For the past couple of days, I’ve been trying to update my system. It downloads all the packages, they are already cached, but I get 404 error on openSUSE-build-key-1.0-68.1.x86_64.rpm :

Hi.

It looks like when I enter the second command it downloads the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Non-Oss metadata successfully.

But for “openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Update” I get this:

Repository 'openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Update' is invalid.

Please, do not post only part of what you see. Always post the input line (so everybody knows exactly what you did) and all output.

OK, install openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed. It should not time out with the cdn, so that might work.

Strange. It’s really slow and now I get the timeout error for the other repos as well:

Mmm, I think the wisest would be to wait for a day, or two. And then try again.

I can’t figure what the issue is. I uninstalled openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed , deleted my repositories, and then added them again using Myrlyn:

zypper lr -d

After that, I was able to update successfully. However, for the past 3–4 days, I’ve been getting this error again:

Or it’s actually using another mirror, not the ones showed in zypper lr -d? The closest to me should be opensuse.ipacct.com and I think it has some issues: https://download.opensuse.org/app/server/opensuse.ipacct.com

13

After playing around for a while I disabled geoip as a temporary fix. So now it downloads directly from download.opensuse.org:
sudo nano /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

[main]
download.use_geoip_mirror = false
