Assistance Needed with OpenSuse 15.4 Update Issues

Hello Fells,

I hope this message finds you well.

I have been experiencing some issues while updating my OpenSuse 15.4 installation for quite some time now.

Attached, you will find the error screenshots and a list of enabled repositories for your reference. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have for resolving these issues.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m not seeing any obvious problems in that image.

Support for Leap 15.4 ended several months ago. So it’s no surprise that you are getting “Repository metadata expired” messages.

You might consider upgrading to Leap 15.5

As pointed out by @nrickert the support for Leap 15. 4 ended already in December 2023! You are using a product which does no longer recieve any security updates or bugfixes! That is why the metadata isn’t updated any longer.

Additionally, your repo list is missing the most important information: the URL. Next time better show

zypper lr -d

@prateeeks:

If “zypper refresh –force” throws error messages then, the Leap 15.4 repositories are definitely no longer being maintained …

  • On the other hand, if the URLs indicated by “zypper repos –uri” are all reachable and, have valid content then, you can at least patch to the last valid Leap 15.4 package versions.

If you still have issues with the now “cold” Leap 15.4 repositories then, you’ll have to upgrade to Leap 15.5.

I apologize for my limited knowledge. Here is the screenshot in response to the executed command.

zypper lr -d

Your output only confirms that you have Leap 15.4 repos. Which all answers above already took into account.

Repeating them: Leap 15.4 is End of Life, there are no updates anymore (since December 2023), it is dead, you should upgrade to 15.5, or juts sit down and continue with it when you prefer that.

Would you kindly provide instructions on how to upgrade to version 15.5?

Thank you, everyone. Upgrading to Leap 15.5 has resolved the issue. I appreciate your help. Have a wonderful day ahead.
