Hello, today I’ve got update alert. I started updating via console - but nothing installed. Then i start update in GUI, ad i got message shown in pictures I attached here in post.
What is this that missing, and how to fix this problem? I use Leap 15.4.
Thank you for answering my questions.
Please we are not clairvoyant and can not look over your shoulder.
What exactly did you do (do it again and copy/paste all, including the prompt/command line, all output and the new prompt line, using the </> button from the tool bar of the post editor.
Same for
Which program, etc. Only showing the error message does not tell the whole story.
Answer for “which program…”: I cliced icon in down-right corner where notification appeared;
Anseer to copy what I did in command-line:
zlatic@localhost:~> sudo zypper update

MozillaFirefox-translations-other mozilla-nss mozilla-nss-certs vlc vlc-codec-gstreamer vlc-lang vlc-noX
vlc-qt vlc-vdpau
Nothing to do.
OK, to explain why you should explain those things: many people do not have that icon, they removed it.
And YaST > Software is the GUI program for most openSUSE users to manage software.
Then, please use the </> (preformatted text) button on the selected computer text in your post. Makes it much better understandable for others.
Can you please post your repository list?
zypper lr -d
Before all: please, excuse me, I did not see where tags for text-formatting are placed now. Thisd is first time I saw new look of forum. I did not enter Forum for some time.

Andm yes - why I use icon in down-right beside watch: trust me - since I bought this computer (three years) - I user it just couple of times (even half of couple 
). I watch it just to see if new update “arrived”. I always update system via console sudo zypper update
Use zypper to do the update ie as roo zypper up this should fix things
All is good, the errors are gone?
Mostly those repodata-errors have something to do with an updating server.
Wait and update later.
Yes! I updated couple of hours ago, so now there is no update alerts. But now, when I sudo zypper update - I get message that some of repostiroy not exists. But, no problem with working.
Thank you all for help me.
Please, don’t think I am spammer, but I just want to say: now there is not “wrong repossitories alert” at all. Once, again - thank you!

The fist one failed same way that second one some minutes ago. Kind of random error. Maybe they are updating the server
Often some mirrors are a little behind. And yes, during updating of a mirror, such things can happen. Just wait for one or two hours and give it a second chance.
I’ve done several one-off package installations on 15.4 with zypper in recent hours, after starting the session with zypper ref; zypper up.

So it seems to be down of some sort.
Repo seems fixed now.
Still have it here. 
But I can wait until tomorrow 
I am getting this error, but I am not sure it is part of this thread.
the installed WebKit2GTK-4.1-lang-2.38.6-150400.4.42.4.noarch requires ‘WebKit2GTK-4.1 = 2.38.6’, but this requirement cannot be provided
I get this constantly every time I boot up. I’ve tried a few things, but they didn’t seem to have any effect. There are two updates that give me this error:
openSUSE-SLE-15.4-2023-3419
and
openSUSE-SLE-15.4-2023-3482

Problem solved. The link provided by Arvidjaar (above) provided the answer. My two errors are now gone.
