For a few weeks, zypper used to produce output in the format of:
repo1: refreshed 6 hours ago
repo2: refreshed 6 hours ago
(some other warnings to refresh repo)
<output>
The output was generated immediately without delay using cached repo information. But now it has reverted back to the old behavior where it slowly auto refreshes repos serially to produce output. How can I configure zypper to get the recently removed behavior? I understand zypp.conf can be updated to not auto refresh repos in X amount of time but that doesn’t produce the nice warnings with the time since last refresh. Also zypper is more annoying in this configuration, I actually liked the change that appears to have been reverted.
You cannot. This “nice warning” was a mistake and was entirely useless and it was supposed to restore the original behavior when it warned if repository was outdated but it did not happen. Child with bathwater.
It has always been the same for both root and non-root user for me. No differences. Is the output always instantaneous using cached info for non-root user in your system?

Please always show the complete output of your commands and not only a piece.
And here for root and for User.

It’s quite different for me in TW-Slowroll, Leap’s behavior looks like the desired behavior I explained in my initial post.
