Description Volker Kuhlmann 2008-04-26 09:46:37 UTC
I did this by mistake:

# zypper ar http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/ SL-OSS-factory_gwdg
* Adding repository 'SL-OSS-factory_gwdg'
Repository 'SL-OSS-factory_gwdg' successfully added
Enabled: Yes
Autorefresh: No
URI: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/

(any zypper command here which access the repos)
# zypper ref
Error building the cache database:
Repo exception
Skipping repository 'SL-OSS-factory_gwdg' because of the above error.

My fault by putting in a too-short URL, but adding the repo gave an OK, and "repo exception" is not informative as to the cause. Better error messages would be useful.
