yast2 problem adding repository

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Greetings!

Trying to add the repo with yast2/Add Repository/Repository URL
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/
an error box pops up, saying:

Unable to create repository
‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/’.

Change the URL and try again?

The URL is acessible with firefox.

Any hints?

Thanks for reading

Omit the “x86_64”. YaST/zypper will select the correct architecture by itself, and that subdirectory doesn’t contain any repo metadata.

The correct URL for the repo is:
[noparse]http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_13.1/[/noparse]

Btw, you can add that repo in YaST->Software Repositories->Add->Community Repositories as well, no need to enter the URL then… :wink:

Thanks a lot!
