Hello All,
I had to reformat my PC due to an ugly update fiasco (thanks M$).
Long story short, I now have Win 10 and Leap 15 dual booted via UEFI. I have switched to NetworkManagement after Leap was installed, and now it can’t update/install package properly.
The Error :
absusedesk:~ # zypper ref
Repository 'Google-Chrome' is up to date.
**Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/non-oss/media.1/media':

Repository 'Main Update Repository' is up to date.
Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.
So apparently, the issue is with these two URLs and other repos seem to be working. (I was able to install google-chrome-stable).
If I open the URLs separately via a web browser, they work -
http://download.opensuse.org/distrib…/media.1/media →
openSUSE - openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Addon-NonOss-FTP-x86_64-Build267.2-Media
openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Addon-NonOss-FTP-x86_64-Build267.2

What I have attempted:
- I attempted switching to network.service (network managed by yast). Problem with these two repos persisted. So we’re back to NetworkManager.
- I have previously seen similar update error in Opensuse which was due to DNS issue. So I have turned NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=’’ in /etc/sysconfig/network/config and provided few IPs in /etc/resolv.conf. No change
- Followed this and turned off IPV6. No change.
- Followed this and double checked the Repo URLs. Seems correct.
My repositories are -

The error “Error code: Curl error 8” is consistent whether an update is attempted from zypper, Yast or PackageKit(system Tray icon).
Any idea how I can fix this ?
I don’t have a good handle on this, but can you please try the following?
# rm -rf /var/cache/zypp
# zypper up
I have tried cleaning zypper cache already The issue pops up as soon as the metadata are rebuilt.
Please see below. I have added timestamp.

Try a mirror:
https://mirrors.opensuse.org/
download.opensuse.org is a redirector, so maybe a mirror helps.
Hi Sauerland,
Thanks for the tip.
Just so that I know what needs to be done, should I just edit the repo files (/etc/zypp/repos.d/) and update the baseurl of OSS from
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss/
to something like this ?
http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss/
and ditto for non-oss…
I have updated my repositories as follows -
absusedesk:~ # zypper lr -d

I just installed lynx via zypper and it worked fine. However PackageKit is still spewing errors. Will keep this thread updated.
You can do as you have done it, but I would prefer the old ones, disable them and add the new ones…
I think the Reposerver to which you are directed by download.opensuse.org is out of sync…
Okay ,successfully updated libzimg2 via packagekit. The mirror is working. 
@Sauerland,
yes I just hashed the old ones. Thanks again.
[how do I mark it “resolved” ?]
We don’t generally do that here, but reflecting it in the title as you did what is often suggested.
