zypper can't install kdepim3 sources

Any idea what to do here?

zypper si kdepim3
Reading installed packages…

The following source package is going to be installed:
kdepim3

Overall download size: 13.9 M. After the operation, additional 14.2 M will be used.
Continue? [YES/no]:
Installing source package kdepim3-3.5.9-53.1
Media source ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss’ does not contain the desired medium

I want to hack kmail to get rid of the “doesn’t respect umask and makes attachments and opened files RO” problem.

Cheers,

TT

You are doing a source pkg install so you most likely will need to add the applicable repo:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/src-oss/

Ok, I see but I am not sure I understand how add this repo properly.

trying this:

zypper ar Index of /distribution/11.0/repo/src-oss source_oss

gets me this:

zypper si kdepim3
Error building the cache database:
Cannot determine type for repository source_oss2.
Warning: Disabling repository ‘source_oss’ because of the above error.

Trying this:

zypper ar Index of /distribution/11.0/repo/src-oss/suse source_oss

gets me this (again):

zypper si kdepim3

Problem installing source package kdepim3-3.5.9-53.1:
Can’t provide ./suse/src/kdepim3-3.5.9-53.1.src.rpm : Media Exception

So sorry to ask such a daft question how do I add this repo (in easy steps)?

Thanks

Tried adding the repos follwing the instructions here:

Add Package Repositories to YaST - openSUSE
Package Repositories - openSUSE

but I still get this error:

kdepim3

Overall download size: 13.9 M. After the operation, additional 14.2 M will be used.
