I am getting a very long error message from
a bad entry in the repository list. How do I scan the list
and delete this bad repo ?? (find text then delete)
Also, what part of this error message represents the
bad repo name ? Guessing the bold text
Thanks in advance !!
:wink:

Hi, looks like you tried to add some ARM repo. Is this on an ARM machine?
Please show:


uname -a
zypper lr -d

In the output you will see a list of repos, incl. URLs, proceeded by an index number. You can remove the repo with the incorrect URL by


zypper rr Index_No_of_Wrong_Repo

If you use Yast Software Repositories, you will probably recognize the repo immediately from that “5d4c14c6” part of the repo alias. And you can remove it (or disable it) from there.
