Online Update Error: "No active update source is available"

Hi everyone,

I am running OpenSuSE 10.3 and I am trying to perform updates per ‘this
article’ (http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux) but haven’t had
any luck. Every time I try to run Online Update from YaST I get “No
active update source is available”. I have removed all my software
repositories except for
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/repo/oss/
and still get the error message. Any ideas or suggestions?

Maybe I’m spouting nonsense… but it wont cause any harm at least.

Try ‘Index of /distribution/10.3/repo/oss’
(http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/)

Additionally, if I just try to update individual components of my SuSE
installation (Postfix, for example) I get the following error:

-Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive
