When I access the following repository using Firefox I see a lot more packages than when I access the same repo from YaST or zypper. Index of /pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/ For example if I browse to Index of /pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/x86_64/ I see several packages named vlc-* however none of these appear after adding Index of /pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/ to YaST. I have tried disabling all other repos and refreshing this repo. Why is there this discrepancy?
You should just use Packman any way
Forget the VideoLan repo
I appreciate your opinion and perhaps your suggestion will solve my current issue with VLC but it does not answer my question and will not help me in the future when I am looking for another package from another repo. My question is: Why does the repo contents appear differently in YaST than it does via a Web browser?
It looks OK to me
Or can you be more specific?
My advice though stands.
When I visit Index of /pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/x86_64/ using Firefox I see a file named vlc-2.0.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm. When I access the same repository using YaST I do NOT see vlc-2.0.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm. This is an example–I am not having a VLC issue. Your advice only applies to VLC issues. This is not a VLC issue. I am having an issue with the contents of a repository displaying differently in one application than in another.
Are you using _64

in order to figure out what is going on it would be nice to see exactly
what YaST is showing you, to do that we need you to please show us the
terminal output and input from
zypper lr -d
uname -a
cat /etc/SuSE-release

I understand that you are an admin and that you have over 34k posts but PLEASE if you are not able to stay on topic just do not reply at all. This is NOT A VLC ISSUE. I am trying to understand how openSUSE repositories work and specifically why I am seeing a difference in what packages are listed based on the way I view the listing. If you don’t understand that is okay–leave the thread to someone who does.
You don’t get why I asked this do you

Hi
After 34K posts I’m thinking it’s a perfectly valid request, and yes I
know why it was asked…

Okay sorry for the delay–I am at work and something urgent came up. Yes I understand why you are asking–I initially misread your post and thought you were asking for what version of VLC I was using–my bad.

OK
It sure looks strange
I can’t check the repo on a machine until AM
OK
I checked too and it does indeed not show the packages:
SUSE Paste

i was trying to figure out why, and the possibilities seem limited to:
-
the redirector is hitting a mirror which is/was (momentarily) in
transition [but i find it highly unlikely three folks [they don’t show
here either] could randomly attach to the same momentary situation, over
several hours–so, nope that ain’t it] -
its a genuine bug (against either YaST or Mirror Brain or ???)
-
or, it is doing as it is supposed to do, but i didn’t know it was
supposed to do that, nor why (??)
i wonder if it would be best to bring it up in a mail list (which)…or
IRC??

I see no other option, than that the VLC repodata is not built well. And this is not the first time. A couple of years ago we saw the same issue. I already searched the forums, but couldn’t find anything, yet I’m sure this has occurred before.
@OP: Sarcasm is not the best way to get help. Caf4926 is trying to explain that you’re on the wrong track with the Videolan repo anyway. IMHO the Videolan repo should have been removed ages ago, packages are crippled, do not work well with the rest of the distro, where Packman’s packages are fine.
I had VideoLan repo removed from the community list in Yast.
You have to be ‘touched’ sufficiently to add it yourself manually.
That’s what you get from checking on a system that’s got an older version…
I hadn’t noticed this >:(. Very good it’s removed, yet I’ve seen more posts on this matter. I guess people get the repo from using the one-click install on videolan.org.
