Hi everyone,

I am running OpenSuSE 10.3 and I am trying to perform updates per this article 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

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 failed:
