YaST - cannot get updates for OS, because it tries to use unreachable server

English Applications

Problem appeared in June 2025.

Cannot get updates for some repos, because YaST uses unreachable URLs: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/15.6/ → Index of /opensuse/repositories/science/15.6/

Site https://mirror.linux-schulserver.de is unreachable for me.

Pick a dedicated mirror.

Using “zypper ref” - ILL mirror Index of /opensuse/repositories/ is in use for some repos, and not for others?

Filesystems repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/15.6/ redirects to Index of /opensuse/repositories/filesystems/15.6/, which is not available.

Well, https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/mirror.linux-schulserver.de?proto=https claims it is available although I cannot reach it either. I’d say, it is something out of scope for the mirror infrastructure.

Something is still not right. The https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/15.6/repodata/repomd.xml.mirrorlist returns different information than https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/15.6/?mirrorlist. The latter returns just one URI while the former returns several (the mirror.linux-shulserver.de is also included).

Checking https://mirrors.opensuse.org/ - folder “repositories” exist in small number of all repos.

I got list of mirrors from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/15.6/repodata/repomd.xml.mirrorlist.

Then for Filesystems and Science repos I changed URLs to use working mirrors:

Now it updates OK.

I’ve created bug report: 1245363 – Cannot get updates for OS, because mirror list redirects to unreachable site

ILL problem is related to MirrorCache, so I’ve created issue: Cannot get updates for some repositories, because mirror list redirects to unreachable site · Issue #604 · openSUSE/MirrorCache · GitHub
