Problem using openSUSE Tumbleweed update repository

English Install/Boot/Login

For some days now (probably since the new openSUSE project signing key was introduced?) zypper dup produces the following error:

# zypper dup
Error building the cache:
[01_update|https://mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/] Failed to cache repo (1).

    at line 1:1
   Command exited with status 1.

Warning: Skipping repository 'openSUSE Tumbleweed Update' because of the above error.

the other repositories (OSS, non-OSS) work fine.

When i switch to http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/ everything works fine.

I’m aware that the update repository is rarely used with openSUSE Tumbleweed. However my repository setup has not changed for months so what is suddenly causing that problem?

  • Is there some problem with mirrorcache?
  • Is it that some mirror i am redirected to is not setup correctly?
  • Should I file a bugreport on bugzilla or send a mail to admin@opensuse.org?

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I kept getting these issues for a couple of days with various repos (OSS, Mozilla) that use mirrorcache-eu, I changed it to mirrorcache and that seems to help.

A few minutes ago I tried again and now the update-, OSS- and non-OSS-repository are showing all the same problem:
