YAST Update problem, won't update anymore

sir_shunt · 04-11-2006, 12:31 AM

For the past 24 hours or so, whenever I try to update SuSewatcher can't connect to the server, and a manual update, gives me this error when it's almost done with the patch retrieval process:

Quote:

online_update -k -s
Error retrieving patches: ERROR(You:Error parsing patch description.)[Error parsing 'Deltas' attribute. Line ' xorg-x11-server-6.8.2-100_100.4.i586.delta.rpm 245406 3ad5216c49cc61665280daa091d520e8 xorg-x11-server-6.8.2-100 1126567701 3e051563544c6ffdf167c19a999566c4' doesn't have form 'filename size md5sum name-edition-release buildtime srcmd5sum seq'.]

Is one of my files corrupt, or are the update servers having trouble?

sry i didnt see your thread b4, but im having the same trouble, and this is like the third time i've installed suse w/ the same cd's so i dont know y it wont work now

Makes me think it's not the Yast client's fault, but the servers's?
Can anyone confirm this?

I'd also think it's something wrong with the server. I can't even get a connection right now. Maybe we have to wait until they fixed the problem.

I tried all German Update servers now but nothing helped
It looks like some needed information is missing :-(

I also tried to install that patch by hand but this didn't helped....

Thanks god, I'm not alone

OK

Here's the workaround, not nice, but working:
Use the Novel/SuSE Update server. I'm just updating....
