-=- Issues With Updates Dependency Resolution Failed etc -=-


Well, I have been working in linux more recently and came across a couple of problems. One of them occurred last night, when for the first time, I was notified of updates being available. When I tried to update, I got an error "Dependency Resolution Failed." So I read some threads and decided to try a solution posted that said I need to add some package repositories to YaSt in Installation Source, which I did. It did not help and I still received errors.

I decided to go to bed and sleep on it. When I got up this morning, I loaded opensuse 10.2 with plans to continue. This time, I am not notified by the 80 something updates available. When I tried to click on update manager (the globe in the system tray) I get an error which states:

Refresh Failed: Failed to parse XML metadata: Can't add repository at http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...penSUSE_10.2/: Unknown source type for http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...openSUSE_10.2/

I tried apt-get update, which I thought worked, but it did not get the updates apparently...

Any suggestions would be great!



/.87

p.s. I went into YaSt and into Installation Source and deleted the reference to the above site that gave me the error and I got another error similar to the one above with this:

Refresh Failed: Failed to parse XML metadata: Unsigned file '/repodata/repomd.xml (http://jarpack.com//suse/10.2/RPMS/)'

I looked for a reference to that in Yast Installation Source and did not see one...

Thanks Again!

I might be wrong - but the URL for your update sources seem to be wrong.

You should have a look on this:
http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories

Yes, I think you are right. I removed that link and reinstalled zdm, or whatever the update monitor is called and reinstalled it. Then, I was able to update.

Thanks, mate!

You're wellcome!

Although you should remove the following packages:
zmd
zen-updater
rug
libzypp-zmd-backend


..and use 'zypper' and 'opensuseupdater'
