I am trying to update from the SuseFactory repo and this usually works, up
until about a week ago. What do i do to fix this?

Do not ever use Factory with any stable release. Use
X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3 repo.

That is the one I always use, or more precisely:

download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/

and I get the same. I also get other errors at times. They float around
a bit. Sometimes it looks like it wants a newer glibc than the one that
comes with 10.3. I expect a bit of fun when doing this, so I just accept
it and wait. Compiz has been odd for a week or two. In the process, it
broke my previously working compiz. No panic as I only use it for fun.
But I, too, look forward to a compiz suite that will actually install on
10.3.

See the release announcements of 11.0, it has details about rpm
payload changing to lzma.

An this effects the 10.3 repository?
