Hi,
I have a SUSE ES 11 SP3 instance (ID: i-008f9012) and I need to install the php5-openssl package, but I’m getting in trouble when using “zypper install”.
Refreshing service 'susecloud'.
Problem retrieving the repository index file for service 'susecloud':

I tried to made the infrastructure update, following the steps below but I got the same “Problem retrieving the repository index file for service ‘susecloud’” error at step 2 and no instanceInfraUpgrade file is generated.
1) grep smt-ec2 /etc/hosts
If this returns empty you will need to migrate your instance to the new update infrastructure. This process will introduce changes to the instance including introducing cloud-init. root remains the default user (ec2-user is the default user for new images) and the hostname and hostkeys are preserved.
1) wget http://54.197.240.216/instanceInfraUpgrade.noarch.rpm
2) zypper –non-interactive in instanceInfraUpgrade.noarch.rpm
3) instanceInfraUpgrade
4) rm instanceInfraUpgrade.noarch.rpm
There is the output for zypper ls:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Type
--+-----------------------+------------------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------
1 | nu_novell_com | nu_novell_com | Yes | No | NONE
2 | susecloud | susecloud | Yes | Yes | ris
3 | devel_tools_scm | Software configuration management (SLE_11_SP2) | Yes | No | rpm-md
4 | php | php | Yes | No | NONE
5 | server_php_extensions | PHP extensions (server_php_openSUSE_11.4) | Yes | No | rpm-md
I looked in the forum, but I could not find a clear solution.
Can you help me?
So the old update infrastructure was turned of on May 18, as announced multiple times and most recently here [1].
I just tested the wget step and it works:
wget http://54.197.240.216/instanceInfraUpgrade.noarch.rpm

Since the old update infrastructure no longer exists you need to force zypper not to refresh existing repositories:
zypper --non-interactive --no-refresh in instanceInfraUpgrade.noarch.rpm
However, there is a chance that you will run into missing package issues as the process to switch to the new infrastructure was based on the assumption that the existing repos (old infrastructure) would work.
Good luck.

Thank you!
Running the command as suggested I got:

So, is there another way to solve this problem? Or should I migrate my app to another instance?
