Not able to access software repositories through yast Leap 42.3

getsoubl · 09-07-2019, 04:20 AM

Hello
I am trying to install some programs using yast but seems that the repositories are inaccessible
The Linux distribution that I use is the Leap 42.3 under Oracle VM virtual box
The VM has internet connection

The error that I get is the following
An error occurred during repository initialization. SKIP request: User-requested skipping of a file History: - Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/non-oss/media.1/media': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 172.28.12.5 port 8080: No route to host

I run the following command
sudo zypper lr -d

And the output is the following

Has anyone any idea what goes wrong?

opensuse 42.3 is no longer officially supported and update repo has not changed since July.

see the release cycle page
https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime

42.3 is end of life as of July 1

I am trying to install some programs using yast

what programs ?

if updates then there are NONE

Code:

http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/non-oss/media.1/media'

this is your install dvd , it can not be found, this is a common bug with opensuse

the install media somehow gets added to the repos

delete that repo text file

http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...42.3/repo/oss/ and http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/ seem to indicate 42.3 remains on regular mirrors, but to add apps to 42.3 you might need to adjust your repos configuration according to the EOL section near the bottom of https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors which I've already done on a few installations kept for evaluating changes in behavior to current releases.
