Hi All, I am setting up a SLES 11 SP2 box.

I have taken an SP1 Template on my VMWare Estate and booted from the SP2  
ISO to do the upgrade.

I have updated the repos to the appropriate ones on my SMT server

I then got the following error during the initial patch sequence

nothing provides gnutls(cert-auth) needed by  
libsoup-2\_4-1-2.32.2-4.11.1.x86\_64

At the moment I have refused that particular patch

Can anyone help me by explaining what I am missing or I need to fix this?

I have tried installing gnutls but that does not provide the  
requirement. Do I need some kind of certificate setting up?

TIA

Karim

Hi  
Do you have the SP2 update repository active? You need to run;

```auto
zypper in libgnutls26
```

Hi Yes I did have the repositories active but was missing one of them  
the Extension Store.

I’ll give that a go

Thanks

Hi Malcolm we were indeed missing the one of the repos specifcally the  
“extension store”  
I added it to my SMT and re-registered the server, it picked up the  
details and bingo that seems to have cracked it.

Thanks

Karim
