Hello,

When running sudo zypper dup it displays the following message:

Retrieving repository 'GNOME:Apps' metadata ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[|]
Warning: Digest verification failed for file 'ea9e9390c09fb52ea6e0a263e518944852b9cfaf829c797375d90f7ad915aafe-primary.xml.gz'

and:

Repository 'GNOME:Apps' is invalid.

Then dist-upgrade fails. It’s been like that for 3 days now. Any clues on how to solve this will be appreciated.

TIA

Accepting packages with wrong checksums can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.

However if you made certain that the file with checksum '5a40..' is secure, correct
and should be used within this operation, enter the first 4 characters of the checksum
to unblock using this file on your own risk. Empty input will discard the file.

Unblock or discard? [5a40/...? shows all options] (discard):

Warning: Skipping repository 'GNOME:Apps' because of the above error.
Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.

    dist-upgrade: Due to the treatment of orphaned packages dist-upgrade depends on a proper
    repository setup more than any other command. It must not continue if enabled repositories fail
    to refresh. This may severely damage the system. If a failing repository is actually not needed,
    it must be disabled. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.

Users of Factory repos should know at least some repository and zypper basics. The use of developement/home/factory repos can cause serious package conflicts up to not properly working apps. So at least some basic troubleshooting knowledge is required when using them.

This repo is marked as beta testing for the next release (see SDB). Use it on your own risk.

Clean your cache and try again. If it still occurs, wait some time until the mirrors are synced

sudo zypper clean --all
sudo zypper ref

I do not know that repo (and we have only the name, thus not the URL (thus you could post it e.g. with zypper lr -d), but it says that when you trust that repo, you can type those four characters as answer to the question and then it will proceed.

download.opensuse.org is a redirector, maybe your used server is not up to date.

Use:
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/GNOME%3A/Apps/openSUSE_Factory%2BGNOME_Factory/
