Unable to update, gets an error

English Applications
#1

I’ve been having this problem for a while now. Every time I try to update using

zypper up

or even by using YaST it stops midway. For example in using Zypper I get the following error

Retrieving: 11.2 [error]                                                        
Error: Download interrupted at 81%                                              
History:
 -  [AbstractCommand.cc:195] URI=http://opensuse.uib.no/update/11.2/repodata/4ec3f2acdd863958479cbacbb5bc19f939e35099-deltainfo.xml.gz

and it gives a list of URL’s like the above.

I don’t know what’s wrong as I only have the following repositories, Packman, updates for opensuse 11.2, non-oss, oss. The URL for the update repository is Index of /update/11.2

Does anyone know what’s happening? Thanks.

are you running out of disk space? on either the save to or /tmp
partitions?

what kind of file system are you downloading the file to? (some MS
will only allow up to (what is it?) 3-something GB)?

are you inside a network (say at work, in a dorm, on campus, etc)
which might be limiting any user/machine inside the network to xx GB
per hour/minute/day?

I think you are getting a bad mirror. The “download.opensuse.org” is in
fact an automatic redirector.

I suggest you, 1st wait and try later, if not then try to manually
change to a mirror that works, and if that works, report the bad mirror
(http://en.opensuse.org/FAIL).

Hi,

I’ve still been unable to do this. I haven’t even been able to make the necessary security updates. I don’t know how I could find another mirror for 11.2. I tired searching for mirror on Google without any luck.

Mirror List

This link lists the set of mirrors for repodata/repomd.xml

In the mirror URLs just remove repodata/repomd.xml and use that as your update URL
