Yast stuck

[Pumalite]

Yast gets stuck when it initializes at packman/repo, when I tell him to skip, it doesn't do it; it goes back to the same source and it gets stuck again. It's and endless loop. The other option it gives me is "abort". The same with Software Management, Add-On Sources, etc. The end result is that I can't erase packman from the sources. I tried with the cosole and the yast command. The same happened there. Is there a way to erase packman as a sourse from the command line?

It looks like the packman.unixheads.com server is down. The site is still up but running on a barrowed server and is seriously throttled.

try http://packman.sharewarestorage.com instead for a USA connection.

Thanks for the reply and the tip. The problem is that I can't get to the place where I can change the sourse: Installation Sources. Remember that yast is stuck in an endless loop. And I want to fix yast because I use it for an infinite number of things. I know I'm supposed to erase the original link of packman and replace with yours, but I cant do it. I cannot reach the screen in Installation Sources where to the right you see the list and below you have Add and Delete. Any ideas in how to get out of the loop? When yast gets stuck in packman, a few minutes pass and then a notice appears: packman couldn't be reached: Retry or Abort. Well I click Abort, but yast goes back to scan the list and gets stuck in packman again. Therefore the endless loop. If I try to close the window at the x in the upper right corner, a notice appears: "Do you really want to Abort?" If I click yes, then yast closes.

I did solve it! The answer was: Use command installation_sources -d [URL].
