ViCibox repositories unavailable

[dspaan]

When i try to do YAST > Software Management on an older vicibox server i get errors that the repositories are not available:

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:languages:perl/openSUSE_12.1'

I get the same with zypper refresh.

How can i fix this?

it's an opensuse issue. not a vicibox repository ... an opensuse repository. usually you can get away with skipping the repo refresh and everything will still work. if not, you can modify the repository url to a mirror that is still operational. we've even had a user request the repository be put back online ... and they did! LOL

using yast, you can turn off autorefresh of that repository (or point it to another mirror that is still active).
