On
sudo zypper dup
getting following error now:
Connection failed
Could not resolve host: ftp.byfly.by
Why it redirects updates to Belarusian mirror while it is inaccessible from Ukraine completely currently? What a stupid algorithm, why it can’t select some other mirror? How to change this? Is there some UI for this?
Hi
Try using mirrorcache instead, see MirrorCache - openSUSE Wiki
Or just pick a mirror to use from https://mirrors.opensuse.org/
YaST2 Software Repositories to modify.
What exact steps are? I do
sudo sed -i "s,http://download.opensuse.org,https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org,g" /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo
Do not like to do this manually for every repo. If a mirror stops to work again? Find mirrors and edit repos again? If I have several machines: repeat on every one?! It’s a hell! Any other ideas? Seems was some UI on installation step to select mirror? Or this exists only in other distros? I think suse should do this automatically: if a mirror is inaccessible - switch to another one. But it forces to access to wrong one again and again. This is stupid!
Hi
I just edited my repositories manually…
I use mirrorcache-us.opensuse.org I assumed yours would be mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org
You can create a local repo cache and deploy to other machines, as in don’t delete the downloads… or use rsync and a local repo. A plethora of different ways to download once and deploy to many.
Exactly, and EU has a lot of mirrors but it always connect to the unreachable one in .by zone even with mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org. Stupid! Need to fix the logic!
Hi
See MirrorCache - openSUSE Wiki to get the offending one removed 
Nope. I came up with the following list of repos:

I fixed the URIs using sed. Omit option ‘-i’ and repeat until satisfied. Then add the option again to actually perform the change.

Each .repo file supports multiple URIs. Select several, excluding the problem source, for inclusion in each, from mirrors.opensuse.org. If you make the last download.opensuse.org or mirrorcache.opensuse.org, then if all others fail, the last will choose something else. e.g.
...
baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss
http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss
http://mirrorcache.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss
...
This can be an option, but it’s a workaround. Another option is troubleshooting and if any reporting an issue at GitHub - openSUSE/MirrorCache: Download Redirector
In case of trouble try both of these:

It is not removed, it is unreachable in UA. BTW, logic selecting mirror is the same whether I replace standard URL with mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org or not.
Reported a bug: Can't update openSUSE because of wrong repo mirror selected · Issue #287 · openSUSE/MirrorCache · GitHub
They reacted immediately: Thx for reporting, I’ve disabled the mirror to fix this, now it should work, Issue closed.
Thank You!
