Today I keep getting this: (sles11.3 obviously)  
zypper lu  
Refreshing service ‘nu\_novell\_com’.  
Retrieving repository ‘SLES11-SP3-Updates’ metadata [\]  
Signature verification failed for file ‘repomd.xml’ from repository ‘SLES11-SP3-Updates’.  
Warning: This might be caused by a malicious change in the file!  
Continuing might be risky. Continue anyway? [yes/no] (no):

I’ve tried to remove all repos and re-register. I’ve tried to update --force. I’m not sure what else to do. Nor how to troubleshoot.

Where can I find the status of the repo servers?

Hi  
I have asked my SUSE contacts if there are any known issues, with  
mirrors etc. Stay tuned 😉

I am getting the same issue after upgrading to SLES 11 SP#. Anyone know why this is happening?
