Description D, D, 2006-02-14 05:31:09 UTC 
http://ftp.ale.org/pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/
(rpm tree for OpenSuse 10.1 beta3 as of Feb 13, 2006)

is missing the yast2-packagemanager*.rpm file.

Because of this, 
- Yast's "Installation Source" module is empty and produces only "Unable to create installation source" messages.
- installation_sources -a is not available
- No further updates are possible.

Temporary workaround:
Use KPackage by adding the source to RPM sources in "Settings" > "Configure KPackage"

Sorry, but it happens that certain servers are not completly synchronized or just take longer to do so. As these are external servers, you should always contact their respective owners/admins.

ALL of the mirrors I checked have this problem with OpenSuse 10.1 "Factory" tree for more than a 3 days! I checked ALL of the US mirrors. There are TWO yast2-packagemanager-devel rpms (diff version) and NONE of yast2-packagemanager.

The problem is UPSTREAM somewhere. It happened sometime around Feb 10, 06.

Please, check for yourself.

Is probably related to the profound changes in that module.
Andreas?

This is a fallout of the libzypp integration that I announced, installation
source is currently broken. :-(

This is on the todo list of the developers, so let's close this one.
