So far I love Suse 11.1! However, today when updating some dvd utilities, I kept getting dozens of errors from the packman repository:
Errorhttp://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ ’
Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.1
File ‘./suse/i586/libmpeg2-0-0.5.1-0.pm.2.i586.rpm’ not found on medium ‘http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ ’

File ‘./suse/i686/libfame1-0.9.1-0.pm.9.i686.rpm’ not found on medium ‘http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ ’
It appears to be up. Is it just not updated yet with current packages?
It looks like the URL has an extra ‘suse’ in there. If I go to Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.1 , I see the i586 directory, and not a ‘suse’ directory.
Is there some path I could update to fix this?

I think packman just isn’t up to date yet. Hopefully this will be corrected in the next couple days.
Isn’t anyone else seeing this problem?
When my updater tries to get a packman repository file, it would try to get (ie):
‘http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/suse/i586/libmpeg2-0-0.5.1-0.pm.2.i586.rpm ’
My packman repository URL is “http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ ”
For some reason, the file fetch string prepends a ‘suse’ to the front of the path before i586. I tried using command line zypper, but that didn’t seem to help either.
A few minutes after my last post, I found the fix which worked for me. I had to add a new packman repository, and delete the default one. Steps were:
Then go into the repository manager and delete the old packman “http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/ ” repository. All is working great now.
