Google Chrome RPM not adding repo in Slowroll (works in Tumbleweed)

[specific_hawk]

I recently moved from openSUSE Tumbleweed to Slowroll. On Tumbleweed, when I downloaded the Google Chrome RPM from the official website and installed it using:

sudo zypper in google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

it would automatically add the Google Chrome repository:

https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

However, on Slowroll, after installing the RPM the browser works fine, but the repository is not added. This means I won’t get updates via zypper like I used to on Tumbleweed.

• Is this the expected behavior on Slowroll?
• Do I need to manually add the repo for Chrome?
• Or is it an issue with how the RPM handles repo setup on Slowroll?

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any workaround?

Do I need to manually add the repo for Chrome?

If it doesn’t get added automatically, the answer is logically: yes.

Add the signing key:
sudo rpm -import https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Add the repo:
sudo zypper ar -f https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

You need to ask Google (not the search engine, but the company that provides these packages). Most likely the package does not know how to handle the unknown distribution.
