I could not get it to make a correct query as insisted on giving SL-NULL as
the SuSE version number. It fails to go to the correct dir and tries another
repo. Over and over....

-- AHA, it was apparently a problem with repo's updating to SuSE's new naming
scheme. I would abort after so many failed attempts. To find the problem I
was having I just let it run. After so many failed repo's it found one that
had been updated and it worked.

Then I tried to add a repository to ZMD and followed these notes:
http://jamesots.blogspot.com/2006/05/working-zmdruglibzyppzenworks-setup.html

ZMD wakes up and then complains:
Failed to parse XML metadata: Unsigned file '/repodata/repomd.xml

A typical example:
rug sa --type zypp ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.1/ Packman

This is the first time I've try to add or modify any packet management stuff
under SuSE so I don't know what I'm missing.
