Failed to retrieve new repository metadata for openSUSE service repository

English Install/Boot/Login
21

The problem is in the “?cookies=0” token in File './repo/repoindex.xml' not found on medium 'http://cdn.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/non-oss?cookies=0'
I don’t know where it comes from, likely from an aborted service refresh?
The right address from the openSUSE-repos package is:

url="%{disturl}/distribution/%{distsub}/%{distver}/repo/non-oss?mediahandler=curl2"

I would prefer to fix the openSUSE-repos service rather than manually adding and editing repos, but it is your system and your choice.

I removed openSUSE-repos-Leap, manually added the repos, changed to $releasever and refreshed, but the result seems to be the same:

LatitudeW:/home/winfried # sed -i 's/15.5/${releasever}/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo
LatitudeW:/home/winfried # zypper --releasever=15.6 refresh

I think I would prefer to use the openSUSE-repos service, but right now I want to get back to a stable and error-free situation.
I don’t know how to change the url of an openSUSE-repos package.

24

Simply clean up the directories under /etc/zypp/services.d and /etc/zypp/repos.d/ from any traces of the services…(the package which provides the service is already uninstalled).
Perform a sudo zypper clean -a

Afterwards, it should work to install and refresh the services again…

25

Why on earth not use the opensuse-migration-tool? I’ve done a dozen upgrades 15.6 → 16.0 without issues. After that the OP may have to readd the VPN and Packman repos. And that is it.

26

According to this claim he already tried…

OK, thanks, missed that.

28

Well, because that tool doesn’t work right now.
So I first want to have 15.6 ‘repaired’ and up to date. Then I can prepare the upgrade to 16.0.

29

Sorry for the pause in responding; YES, that seems to do the trick.
Zypper is updating now.
I can try to change to openSUSE-repos service again, now it’s all clean, and then I can prepare and execute the upgrade to 16.0 (I hope).

So far thank you all for your help. Without all your expert help I couldn’t have fixed this!
