Hi,
I’ve got OS 11.3 and updates via yast dosen’t working. Provided repositories URL are correct. When I try to refresh package list (i.e. when lunching software managment) it’s returns me error Unable to connect to url …/repodata/repomd.xml
URL is correct. I was looking for solution on the web and I found some footprints but no one guid me to solve it. 
This issuse occure on 2 diffrent netwroks (diffrent ISP).
Network connection is established correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
jbeynar
Are you saying you can browse the net?
Open a terminal and type: su -
(hit enter)
type your password…
Type this: zypper up
(what happens)
If it fails, type this: zypper lr -d

Networking is working. I can download files from Index of /distribution/11.3/repo/oss with wget, but I can’t find repodata there at all. I think problems started at Saturday.
Repo config is default (freshly installed 11.3), except DVD repo, which is disabled.
I think problems started at Saturday, but I am not sure. I installed 11.3 in the morning and everything seemed ok, however later I decided to change partition layout drastically and did reinstall. Problems with repos showed then.
Do this as su -
**zypper clean --all
zypper verify**
Then
rpmdb --rebuilddb

Is the type for OSS repo correct?
Solved by removing and adding OSS repo. Now the type is yast2 and everything works. The question is why it had “rpm-md” type in the beginning?
Become su - in a terminal and do the following
zypper rr 5
zypper ar -f http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/opensuse/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ oss
zypper ref
accept key if requested
