Hello,
I use on the command line “zypper in package1 package2 package3”
Is it possible ? :
if there is a temporary network problem, it waits for ever, asking “retry, abort, skip ?”. Is it possible it retries automatically after 30 seconds ?
Is shows progress during files download (1/3 , 2/3, 3/3 …), but not during the rpm installs (which can be long too). Can it show progress during install too ?
thank you for your knowledge.

No. Zypper expects you to fix the problem. Use YaST if you want other behavior.

No.
By default, zypper will only retry a download up to five times. After that, it prompts you and asks what to do (r/a/s).
You can increase the amount of retries.
Change the following lines in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf:
# download.max_silent_tries = 5
to
download.max_silent_tries = *n*
Where n is the amount of retries - 0 means unlimited.
If you want more feedback (though this might not change the feedback when the package is installing) try zypper with the -vvv flag. Each v represents a level of “verbosity”. More v’s, more info.
zypper -vvv in package1 package2 package3
