Hello, I’m new to openSUSE (I chose to start with Tumbleweed, coming from Arch, keeping everything rolling :] ). I’m always getting errors in the Zypper output (see the end of the output):

Additional rpm output:
error: rpmdb: read: 0x1ea6398, 4096: Input/output error
error: db4 error(5) from dbcursor->c_get: Input/output error
Are these errors bad? Or can I ignore them. The packages seem to be installed fine and so far they are working.
When I installed Tumbleweed, it accidentally installed to the thumbdrive that had the Tumbleweed network installer (overwriting the installer, not sure how that happened); I meant to install to the laptop hard disk. Then I copied the thumbdrive to the internal hard disk and resized the root partition, but this apparently left some things in unexpected shape (I remember coming across a file or program that depends on the knowing the location of the installation, which is now incorrect, I don’t rememmber what it was). Just throwing this out there in case this could be causing the problem. I intend to re-install Tumbleweed from scratch properly, again, but it takes so much time that I don’t have right now.
