Install errors often on many applications - Google Chrome

English Hardware
#1

This is becoming frustrating in that when I try to install just about anything I get error messages like this one for installing Google Chrome.

[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.SycEiI] Repository already exists.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this specific error or the larger issue for me?

Do I need to start cleaning out some instance of cache or other on a regular basis? I am not a Linux person but I am trying.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Make it like that
Then run updates with

zypper up

Then we’ll look at Chrome

How do I make it look like that?

#6

Use software repositories from Yast
Repository Management - openSUSE Forums

If you can’t figure that out let me know and I will post a list of code for you
