I haven't selected any patches, this is at the server selection screen when I select a server & click 'next'....
it does this for every server.
I have yet to get to the patch selection screen.

although I didn't find the file in that directory, I did find it in a subdirectory of that......
but removing it didn't solve the problem either.
the actual filename was fetchmsttfonts-3
still getting same error.
*EDIT
I should have clarified the path on this one, the full path is on post #7

an 'updatedb && locate fetchmsttfonts' only reported 1 result:
/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.1/scripts/fetchmsttfonts-3
which is the one I removed

My solution
What I did was to correct the time on the box, and then reinstall the suse-build-key package. Then it worked.
