MicroOS repos are in tumbleweed

I have found a few microOS related packages in tumbleweed. Is this normal? Should i ignore or lock these repos?

MicroOS is using the same repository.

That’s not repos, it’s packages and patterns.

Those openSUSE-repos-... contain repo or service files so it’s easier to pick the correct repos for your distribution. You wrote you have Tumbleweed, so you should use the ...Tumbleweedcounterparts instead:

  • Install

    • openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed
    • openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA (if you have an NVidia graphics card)
  • Remove

    • openSUSE-repos-MicroOS
    • openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA

Do this as one transaction, then quit Myrlyn and restart it so the new repos are actually used. It may not even matter, but just make sure.

Those microOS repos are available but not installed. They were not there previously. Got in after updates it seems. Happened with others too.

I will remove them as you said.

The black checkmark means “installed”. But they should actually conflict with your installed product “openSUSE Tumbleweed”. Check what product(s) you have installed at “Extras” → “Show Products”.

I checked, and I get a dependency complaint when I try to add repo packages that don’t match my product.

Looks like https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228231#c5

Looks like it.

My repo list does not show any microOS repo installed. But it indicates so in Myrlyn.

As mentioned in that buzilla thread, i reinstalled tumbleweed repos, to remove microOS repos.

$ sudo zypper in openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA

No MicroOS repositories exist, at least today.

It indicates that you have packages openSUSE-repos-MicroOS and openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA installed, both of which contain one or more files in /etc/zypp/services.d/ . That’s different.

Those installed are marked with a tick (check-mark) and correspondingly in the last column are NOT in parentheses.
All other packages are avaliable for installation and thus in the last column, the most recent version is show in parentheses.

But I am wondering about the Package name and the Summary correlation of the first two packages - the name indicates MicroOs while the summary indicates plain openSUSE while all other packages show MicroOs in both name and summary…

I would suggest following @shundhammer’s recommendation, installing TW and removing MicroOs in one go, then restarting - maybe the whole system and not just - Myrlyn
