Not sure of placement, but ZYPPER is an application so:
Trying to run an ordinary repo’ refresh and suddenly, the last couple days I get:

The metadata file it says it can't find changes with every attempt to refresh.
I have found no forum comments about this error in any Duck search.

There have been several forum threads about this issue.

This is perhaps the longest of them:

Can’t provide ./repodata/b90c13c4109137df168df58fc18a84855c427951a351525331b55be774eae911-primary.

The recently reported Bug 1190364 might also be relevant.

Thanks, I will check it out…
