Upgrade from 13.2 to Leap was failing because 13.2 couldn't see the repo

Hey all, in trying to upgrade from 13.2 to Leap I was getting the following error in the refresh repositories step:

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/'

After some perusing I found that I needed to change this repo

openSUSE-leap/42.1-Update

by adding

oss

to the end of the path string. The correct path is:

http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/oss

It’s working now for me. Hopefully someone having the same problem will find this and it will help them in their upgrade.

Thanks,

Joe B
