Troubles with repository http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss/

Dear friends, I don’t know what happens: when I’m trying to update any of the following repos:

Index of /distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss
Index of /distribution/11.4/repo/oss

I’m receiving the error message like “the file /repodata/repomd.xml was not founded on … repository”
I’ve checked these URLs with my browser, so it seams that they don’t have even /repodata directory. But earlier everything worked fine, all my updates were successful and I never received such errors. Could you suggest what happens. Thank you!

These two repositories are normally added for you and there would be no need to add them manually unless you removed them for some reason. If the latter is true, just uncheck the option that says “Download repository description files” when you enter the URL address.

Thank You,

Thanks a lot! I’ve removed them and added without checking “Download repository description files” and now everything works fine. But you see, I didn’t make any changes with my repos earlier, so I don’t understand what was the reason.
Thank you so much!

You are very welcome for the help Tux-Tux. I guess I am not sure why these two repositories might have been missing, but then, it no longer matters as long as they work now.

Thank You’

Your problem has cleared itself, but I suspect it was caused by wrong repo
type.
