Slávek Banko composed on 2019-11-13 22:29 (UTC+0100):
a few days ago François published new packages
for 'osstw'. I suppose
it might help solve your problem.
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/osstw/
Thanks to François for the update and Slávek for the response. The
"cannot find /repodata/repomd.xml" error is gone, so update from 14.0.4
to 14.0.6 proceeded, but there is a new problem, a double popup blocking
session start:
Could not read network connection list.
/root/.DCOPserver_k8mmv__0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!

What's supposed to start dcopserver?
Another problem held over from version upgrades: tdmrc is completely
replaced by the update process. All customizations are lost:

https://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2983 remains unfixed
as to default-displaymanager only. :-(
