I’m running Tumbleweed Gnome Wayland on an AMD laptop. I got a bunch of problems this morning after running sudo zypper dup. Details below. How to fix this issue? Which solution to choose?
I’m a Linux noob. I know next to nothing about the command line. Please respond appropriately.

PS: What’s the URL for the Opensuse paste website?

Interesting. The problem fixed itself. I did a reboot and now sudo zypper dup is running with no problems. All fixed.

The first error message was a name resolution issue (which led to the metadata being invalid - it was missing), that probably led to the others. Very likely something that was needed was in the unresolvable repo, and that created the problems; rebooting coincided with being able to resolve the name (or clearing your local DNS cache, potentially, which might have had it negatively cached), and the missing package was able to be installed.

https://paste.opensuse.org/

Or use susepaste on the command line.

susepaste is a script to post something to paste.opensuse.org and must be installed.

Cool. Thanks. I put the link in my Evernote.
