Description Karl Eichwalder 2013-11-20 13:37:43 UTC
If a repo url does not exist, yast (ncurses) prints a more or less useless warning msg.  The url (or repo name) is not displayed (contrary to yast's claims).  See attachment.

I did not test this with a graphical yast.

Where does the error occur, which YaST module?
Please attach y2log log files.

The msg occurred if I started the software management or online update modules.

The repo wasn't there (thus far ok).  But the msg does not say which repo was actually missing.
Comment 4 Gabriele Mohr 2013-11-28 13:27:54 UTC
The error message comes from packager workflow:

2013-11-20 15:45:30 <2> frechet(29559) [Ruby] clients/sw_single.rb:360 An error occurred during repository initialization.

This version of openSUSE changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or consider the bug still valid, please feel free to reopen this
bug against that version, or open a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
