Since installing 12.3 (64 bit + KDE) I’ve been getting occasional curl errors when entering zypper commands (ref, dup). This doesn’t happen every time but effects (I think) all the active repos at one time or another. So I guess it isn’t a repo problem, but something in my software. Here’s today’s example from a zypper ref entry:
Repository ‘KDE 410 releases’ is up to date.

I’ve added my comments to bug 812746 on the subject, but any ideas will be gratefully received.
