Removed zypper on Leap 15.6

English Install/Boot/Login

I’m a newbie with Suse Linux and while patching Suse Leap 15.6 I managed to remove the zypper tool itself :frowning:

How do I get zypper installed back on to my server?

NAME=“openSUSE Leap”
VERSION=“15.6”
ID=“opensuse-leap”
ID_LIKE=“suse opensuse”
VERSION_ID=“15.6”
PRETTY_NAME=“openSUSE Leap 15.6”

Post:
rpm -qa *zyp*

to see, what is installed.

3

rpm -qa zyp … comes back with nothing

4

@Elza you forgot the asterisk’s *zyp*?

5

Oh I did include them , even a zyp comes back with nothing

6

For some reason asterisk’s don’t appear when I paste them here

7

We use markdown, so they need to be enclosed with a `

So you have repositories active? zypper lr -d

8

Malcolm , if I do ’ # zypper lr -d
-bash: zypper: command not found’

This is what I get . Zypper has been removed . I guess I need to do some wgets to get it back from somewhere but I don’t know where .

All suggestions are welcome

Try as root:

rpm -i https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.6/sle/x86_64/libzypp-17.35.12-150600.3.27.1.x86_64.rpm

rpm -i https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.6/sle/x86_64/zypper-1.14.77-150600.10.11.2.x86_64.rpm
10

I get this

e:/etc # rpm -i https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.6/sle/x86_64/libzypp-17.35.12-150600.3.27.1.x86_64.rpm

I do not find any python2-zypp-plugin on my Leap 15.6

PS:
If there is a python2-zypp-plugin is installed, it should be shown with the command in my first post.

I See;

rpm -qa *zyp*

zypper-log-1.14.77-150600.10.11.2.noarch
zypper-1.14.77-150600.10.11.2.x86_64
zypper-lifecycle-plugin-0.6.1601367426.843fe7a-1.60.noarch
libzypp-17.35.11-150600.3.24.1.x86_64
zypper-needs-restarting-1.14.77-150600.10.11.2.noarch
13

I can’t explain why it works now but I now get this

e:/ # ‘rpm -qa zyp’
zypper-log-1.14.76-150600.10.6.13.noarch
python2-zypp-plugin-0.6.3-lp152.3.4.noarch
libdnf-repo-config-zypp-0.65.0-150400.2.6.x86_64
python3-zypp-plugin-0.6.4-150400.13.4.1.noarch
e:/ #

14

try as root:
rpm -e python2-zypp-plugin

and now try to install libzypp first and than zypper as above.

15

I worked!!! THANK YOU !!! I have zypper back

ok follow up question. for LEAP 15.6 does this security nortice apply ?
Security update for cups-filters | SUSE Support | SUSE

16

Unrelated … since that is a different subject, you should start a new thread.

17

will do . Thanks again

18

Maybe install all packages as malcolm has shown in his post.

19

@Elza note, my Leap 15.6 systems are servers, no desktop etc… so there may be others if running a desktop…
