Hi,
I’m trying to update this morning and I get the following error. I do not understand if it’s a temporary issue or if I need to update the repository url.
Last night I made the update and packages related to amd where upgraded.
All is good apart this issue.
Repository 'Main Update Repository' is up to date.
Repository 'Applications for education users (15.6)' is up to date.
Repository 'ROCm6.4' is up to date.
Retrieving repository 'AMDGPU 6.4.1 repository' metadata ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................[error]

Repository 'zsh-syntax-highlighting (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)' is up to date.
Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.
Nevertheless some pedantic remarks for the next time you ask for help here.
Please, always post the computer in/output complete. That means including the line with prompt/command (which you did fine in the first code part, but you omitted it in the second one), all output up to and at best including the new prompt line (which then signals it is complete).
Posting your list of configured repositories is rather useless when the URLs of the repos aren’t included. The Names and Aliases are local to your system and basically can be anything. Thus something like zypper lr -d will do much better.
I understand the comment, but I have been using linux since 1996 and Tumbleweed since 2023 and I know that I can expect problems at any time. But honestly these repos have never given me any problems. I recently upgraded a hard drive on my machine and reinstalled AMDGPU and that’s probably when I messed up.
The rest of the repositories:
darktable, I take advantage of OBS and that way I can use/test the nightly build
zsh*, also OBS and are the scripts to install autocompletion/suggestion in zsh; of course I could install the scripts from github by hand, but OBS and zypper are much more convenient
packman and codecs are always recommended for installing codecs
rocm… I have an AMD card and need it for ollama and testing LLM, pytorch etc
Then if I wanted to take it easy, I could continue to use my boring macbook and my boring macOS
AMD’s website https://repo.radeon.com is intended for SLE 15 SP6 (Leap 15.6) or SLE 15 SP7 (plus some other distributions), but not for TW.
You can use it with Leap 15.6. For TW you can use Distrobox or virtual machine to get AMD’s software running on TW.
This repo Index of /amdgpu/6.4.1/sle/15.6/main/x86_64/ provides drivers for Leap 15.6 - i.e. Linux kernel 6.4, which is not available for TW (incl. Slowroll).
ROCm repo Index of /rocm/zyp/ provides Python, LLVM & other stuff for Leap, with TW you use newer versions => incompatibility.
Thanks, I have another question: which is the safest way to get rid of the packman repo? I’m having issues in the latest week and I think it’s related to Mesa. I checked with the command sudo zypper se -ir xxx all the repo in the first message and removed the ones that were not used.
The only reason I remember about the packman repo I have installed is because of opi codecs but at this point I’m not even sure.

I checked the logs that you can see here and from my understanding there are some packages that are missing the URl and I guess is my fault messing up with repos
Any suggestions to fix this it will be very appreciated.
Edit:
Checking one random package that give an error:
➜ ~ zypper info --provides ghc-pandoc

and I’m realizing now that the tumbleweed repos links are N/A. I don’t think this is normal but AFAIK I never modified those.
