Problem connecting to software source

English Network/Internet
1

Greetings.
When my system attempts to update I receive an update error:

**There is a problem (possibly temporary) connecting to a software source. Please check the detailed error for further details. **

When I click on the detail, nothing pops up. When I navigate to the update notification box, it says “system is up to date”. The last time I had this problem, it related to my repos, so I include the list below (but I haven’t made any changes to them in a long time):

You failed to explain which version of openSUSE you run (you choose OTHER VERSION from the list, that should trigger you to menition it first and foremost in your post), but from the repo list I detect it is Leap 42.1

As you can see here: https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime Leap 42.1 support ended May 17th 2017. So it is very much possible that the repos are going off-line bit by bit. In any case the Update repos will not have got any new versions since that date, thus you may very well be up-to-date when the date is taken into account.

Hi
Leap 42.1 is EOL, so the repositories no longer exist, see here;
https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime

The repositories are available on a few mirrors containing the ‘discontinued’ release listed here;
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors#EOL_mirrors

Consider upgrading to a supported release openSUSE Leap 42.2 (a little bit longer) or the current release 42.3.

Ok. Its time for me to install a newer version of LEAP. That explains it. Thanks.
