Which version of openSUSE are you running, 11.1 beta or RC1? Maybe one
of your repos is no longer valid. Did you try zypper on the commandline
to get some meaningful output? If nothing helps, just delete all your
repos and add them again.

Well, you can do “zypper ref” and see which repos are broken and then
you can type “zypper --help” to see what else it can do for you. You can
also post the output of “zypper lr”, then we see which repos you have
enabled. And which version of openSUSE are you running? That is
important to know when you ask for help.

Hm… you have two update repos, (1) Main Update Repository and (2)
openSUSE-11.0-Updates. One should be enough. Then you have the oss and
non-oss repos and the DVD (all three are ok) plus a repo called 11.0. I
don’t know that repo. Nor do I know PK_TMP_DIR or Yast1 repos. I am more
the type of user who adds the packman repository first 
Did you find out which repo causes your exception, e.g with “zypper
ref”? If it tells you that a repo is broken you can remove it with
“zypper rr the_repo_that_does_not_work”. Of course you can do all these
things in Yast, too. Plus, in Yast you can you can assign priorities to
repositories. That is particularly useful when you don’t want to use
your dvd all the time. In that case, just give the DVD a higher number
(mine is 120) and it will have a lesser priority over the online (oss
and non-oss)repos (which are 99 here).

Thanks a lot for the info! =)
Well, the thing is that everytime I try to install MadWifi rpm’s I get
the “repo exception” error and no other details.

Where is madwifi? You can figure out in Yast. Search for your desired
package, mark it and click the “Versions” tab. Then delete the repo and
add it again later. You know, there’s a repository cache. That may be
broken. You can really delete all of the repos and add them again, just
to kill the cache (Maybe there’s another way to do it).

You mean the software management app? Cos since I’ve installed MadWifi,
I have never seen any sort of app or nothing related to it.

I get a lot of “lib.c.6” requests as well, and I’m not able to find this
either. =S
