Broken repo on Leap 15.6 Beta

English Applications

Hi.

Yesterday I installed Leap 15.6 beta on my laptop. I noticed that when I run zypper update it says the update-non-oss (15.6) metadata is expired. How do I fix this? Is there something missing here?

I am near Sydney, Australia, I am not sure if the CDN servers nearby are out of sync or something.

> sudo zypper update
Refreshing service 'NVIDIA'.
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

Warning: Repository 'update-non-oss (15.6)' metadata expired since 2023-09-21 22:47:58 AEST.

    Warning: Repository metadata expired: Check if 'autorefresh' is turned on (zypper lr), otherwise
    manually refresh the repository (zypper ref). If this does not solve the issue, it could be that
    you are using a broken mirror or the server has actually discontinued to support the repository.

Alpha and Beta testers should know that the update repos are not used at this developement stage. No packages in this repos, no metadata refresh.
New/updated packages land directly in the base repos whilst alpha/beta stage. Only after final release of Leap 15.6, the update repos will get used.

Got it thanks.

I didn’t see any warning message when I downloaded it.

You won’t. The word “beta” says it all. It is not a released version, you are a tester and as such should try to find out all the things that a tester should know.

Like in Tumbleweed, Leap alphas and betas cannot be fully upgraded by using zypper up. Only zypper dup can do the whole job of distribution up-grading that includes obsoletes, upgrades, downgrades, and new packages, as well as bug fixes, that transpire between pre-release versions. Only after final 15.6 release is completely upgraded to or installed will zypper up be appropriate.
