yast problems: bad media attach point? web broswer works fine.


yast2, with opensuse 11.3. No change to repositories that were working fine before. How do I troubleshoot this problem? I can get to the URL with a web browser, but both Yast2 package manager and "zypper" complain of "bad media attach point". These are the repositories:

http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ntrib/standard
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3
http://download.opensuse.org/distrib.../repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...11.3/repo/oss/

Have you tried deleting the repositories in Yast, then reinstalling them?

Yes. Have also tried adding new repositories to it that I can see with a web browser and it rejects them. Would like to find out how to figure out what is wrong with this Linux package manager.
