Problem installing package

I’m trying to install a kernel from the oss repo. Here’s what I see:

sudo zypper se -sx kernel-default.x86_64
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…

S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository

Here’s what happens when I try to install the 6.4 kernel:

sudo zypper install --oldpackage kernel-default-6.4.9-1.2

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
kernel-default-6.4.9-1.2

The following package requires a system reboot:
kernel-default-6.4.9-1.2

1 new package to install.
Overall download size: 161.4 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 286.1 MiB will be
used.

Please see the above error message for a hint.

Changing mirrorcache-us to download doesn’t help. I also tried:

sudo zypper in -f -r 3 --oldpackage kernel-default

This failed the same way, even though zypper found the same package in repo 3. Any idea what’s up?

30 minutes later, it worked. The mirror wasn’t updated?

Maybe.

But please for next time when posting copied pasted computer text, do not use the " button, bit the </> button just at the right of it.

you get then e.g. (this is from Leap 15.4):

Do you have auto-refresh disabled for your OSS repo? This was changed to 6.4.11-1-1 in 20230819.
