Anyone having this problem as well? It is really annoying I must say. I can’t do much without zypper.  
Here is the error I’m getting:

Yes, we cannot query the novell repos at all for 2nd day in a row…

Hi  
My SUSE contacts advised that it should be all working now. Please  
advise if not.

Thanks malcolmlewis!  
Works quite fine. It’s a shame we had to write to this forum to get this done.

In case anyone from novell/suse reading this, don’t you have any monitoring system? (I can help you setup one if you’re interested)

Hi  
It was already known and they were fixing when folks started reporting  
issues… 😉 I’m just the messenger…
