What is the best way to recover from this?

Hi
That amount of updates are normal after a full rebuild with gcc10…? Hopefully you have been updating with zypper dup? Maybe an out of sync mirror your being directed to?

You could try forcing a refresh with zypper ref -f else perhaps your rpm data base is corrupted… rpm --rebuilddb should clean that up if needed.

There was a large update today. They recompiled almost everything with gcc10. So a large number of updates is to be expected.

I don’t know about the problems reported. You did not provide much information.

Please post the output from

zypper lr -d

and enclose that output in a CODE block.

Always, all updates are zypper dup.

With large updates lurking you may want to run ‘zypper refresh --force’ and only then add ‘zypper dist-upgrade’. Yesterday I found that the Packman mirror was broken:

Service impairment: The machine has a faulty RAID controller. Until the shipment of the replacement part arrives, bad performance and crashes are to be expected. Mirrors will NOT be updated automatically for now, and mostly remain at the version they had at around 2020-06-03 14:30 UTC. Sorry for the inconvenience. http://ftp.fau.de/

I added a working mirror and again ran ‘zypper refresh’:

2020-06-04 13:34  32011  1.14.36  zypper refresh
2020-06-04 13:53    616  1.14.36  zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --auto-agree-with-licenses --allow-downgrade --download-only
2020-06-04 14:19   2102  1.14.36  zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --auto-agree-with-licenses --allow-downgrade

Installation was finished at 14:33. I rebooted at 14:36 and everything was fine.

Your repos are a mess. Disable all but the TW distribution repos, the TW update repo and Packman, then run the dup.

There are three posts with different suggestions before your post. How do you expect anyone to guess which suggestion you did (or did not) follow and what you actually did?

This seems to be working

The “I did so” so a reply to the last comment above. Sorry about the confusion.
