Hmm TY Caf… It looked a bit queer to me too! I thought it was due to the last time I had to re-jig, " kde 4.4 Extras" etc. It has never choked before… I’ll just ditch it…
As for QT, IIRC, something I wanted needed a newer QT, and I must I guess have installed via YAST, and accepted the new repo. Should I ditch that one too?
Thanks again Caf…
I googled “repo ospro” it has a phoronix testing suite in it and some other scraps, I tried to install the test suite ages ago, I must have OK’ed the repo and not disabled after use…
Slightly off topic, but on another (related) issue I got some handy advice from Tacit on the IRC #suse. I thought I would stick it in here in case any lost souls are browsing the forum

It’s due to the fact that packman doesn’t use a mirrorbrain redirector
like download.opensuse.org does. The .repo file contains the mentioned
url and adding it via zypper (-r) …].repo will, counterintuitively,
not use the mirror you wanted.
Oh yawn…
So got my packman repo working nicely from a UK mirror and guess what? Now it seems no longer available:
PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/opensuse/packman/11.2/'
From updater, and:
stephen@home:~> su -c 'zypper up'
Password:
File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/opensuse/packman/11.2/'
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a):
From zypper.
Is something major happening to packman? support for 11.2 discontinued?
