openSUSE 13.2 software installation problem


Every time I attempt to install any software libraries, through Yast or through Zypper, I always get an error "Error building the cache:
[opensuse-games|https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...penSUSE_13.2/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL". I am unsure how to get this to work and while I can normally just tell it to skip the auto-refresh, there are some functions in Zypper that require access to the repository. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the install media copied to local disk and is yast aware of it?

question:

How did you set up / add the "games" repo in yast
or
did you "one-click"

from "kickoff"
Computer / "install and remove software"

click "configuration / repositories "
and click "add" then from url

and use
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_13.2/


there is no https for this yet

I don't actually remember how I set up the games repository in Yast.

Edit:
I went through and added the repository manually. It popped up telling me you should only add a repository once and it still hasn't worked.

That did not work, it is still doing the exact same thing as before.

Edit:
Should I remove the repository and reinstall it, or would that break something?
