Unable to patch servers after zypper/libzypp upgrade

Hi,

We use ZCM to mirror the OES/SLES updates from the Novell update server (via YUM repo).
Everything was working great until we upgraded to the latest zypper/libzypp released last month http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=kR2F867GlL4~
Now zypper won’t download the patches any more because it can’t find them (a / is missing from the path.

In the changelog from libzypp there is this “fix” “Fix wrong ‘//’ when extending URLs with an empty path. (bnc#885254)”
This looks like this fix actually broke it for us. Any idea if this is configurable somewhere?

I know the repo is still working because we can use the ZCM command “zac up” fine and that uses the same YUM repo’s, but is slower to work with.

Thanks,
Hein
