first got the message for repository dvd; when I disabled it I got it for packman. Have their been CA changes, and, if so, how do I pick up the new certificate authorities?
Use “zypper dup”. Don’t use “online update”.
An online update mainly applies patches. There are no patches for Tumbleweed, as far as I know.
Check this mailing list thread for a discussion of the change in repo format for Tumbleweed.
I just tried zypper dup and got a message that PackageKit is blocking zypper. I don’t see anything obviously relevant on the KDE task bar.
I have checked a few times today and the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo is having an issue. Past experience indicates that this will eventually sort itself out.
KDE comes with an update applet. It periodically checks for updates, using the packagekit service. That’s what is blocking “zypper”. After a while, it should finish, and then you can do a “zypper dup”.
Personally, I disable that update applet. Right click on the tray and select “System Tray Settings”. In those settings, uncheck the box for “Software Updates”. And then you won’t be bothered again by that “package kit is blocking zypper” message.
The think about the update applet, is that it does about the equivalent of “zypper up”. That’s great with Leap, but isn’t sufficient for Tumbleweed, where you really need to use “zypper dup”.
The update applet has started failing; that’s why I was using zypper. I’ll try disabling the periodic check. Thanks.
A similar problem, but with Leap:
Signature verification for reository Opensuse Leap 15.0 failed,
Tell me please, should I worry?
That is usually a temporary problem with a mirror. Wait a few hours and try again.
No, it does not help.
I think I solved this problem.
(Leap 15.0)
Step by step:
# zypper clean -a
# zypper ref
=> New repository or package signing key received:
=> Repository: Packman
=> Key name: PackMan Project (signing key) <packman@links2linux.de>
=> etc....
=> Do you want to reject this key, trust temporarily, or trust always?: a
Thank you for this. The following worked for me on openSUSE Leap 15.3 for another repository:
zypper clean -a
