Can't update 11.3

English Applications
#1

I usually run my updates every Friday, my last good update was 4-Mar-2011. I could not update this week and got an error -

“PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed:/Raw/openSUSE_Tumbleweed_standard/’”

I get a similar error message when starting Yast Software Management.

Is this related to the 11.4 release? I’m waiting for fewer bugs before I upgrade to 11.4, so I’d like to be able to keep current with 11.3. Any advice?

Thanks.

A little more info on this. Here’s my 'zypper ref ’ output:

In fact, if you go to Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed:/Raw you’ll see that is empty.

Instead, it seems that the repo
Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed:/Testing/openSUSE_Tumbleweed_standard is populated.

As I understand it, if you want to keep 11.3 it’s better not to use Tumbleweed.

Thank you. I’ll disable that repo. I don’t remember adding it, I wonder how it got activated.
