First i had the problem that i couldn’t surf access the internet while DNS and PING worked well. That i solved with ipv6.disable=1 at boot time. Now i can suf the internet with a browser but YAST is still unable to access the repositories which are accessible with a browser. Can someone please help me what the problem with YAST is?
Sorry, I forgot to write. It is a openSUSE 11.2 x64 version.
Try running zypper ref and zypper up from the command line, with root privileges. ( **su - **to switch to them)
zypper ref doesn’t work. The message is that the metadata at /repodata/repomd.xml is missing.
That means a repository or a mirror is out of sync - perhaps the mirror you are being re-directed to is broken.
Could you post your:
zypper sl -d
And the results of the ref command. Just copy paste them all here.
Here it comes:

Which repository fails with the metadata issue, can you post the results of the zypper ref and the errors it gives please.
It fails on all of them. But i can open all the links with a browser on the same machine which produces the errors. So there has to be something between YAST or zypper and the network layer.
You wouldn’t happen to have a proxy enabled by any chance or have your machine behind one?
Check /etc/sysconfig/proxy if you are unsure.
same here 64bit other repositories work well
it says : didnt found /repodata/repomd.xml.key/ on drive Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss

Look like none. There is just a NAT router and nothing else.

zypper ref
As a test of the network interface i just started konqueror with ftp://ftp.uni-ulm.de/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/11.2/iso/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso
Nice try with zypper clean, but it doesn’t change anything.

PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/’

Hi I’ve just installed 11.2 and i get this error too :
File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/’
and guess what, there is actually no directory /repodata at Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss
just have a look at Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss in firefox
can someone explain what is going on?
edit : there is a repomd.xml file at /distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/repodata , how do I tell the updated to look there?
