I have set up os-update as a system service which is run every night. It has saved me time and seems to be rather effective but I have not set up any alerts for failures. (Beyond my ken.) I set this up using cli but thought I would check out what Yast2 Services Manager was showing for this service.
os-update is shown as starting Manually, state Failed.
Going to the log I have:-

I suspect this was a temporary problem and hope all will be well tonight but meanwhile how is should this error be handled and what alerts should I consider if I do not want to go back to running sudo zypper dup manually?
