Why I get: Warning: Repository 'Main Update Repository' metadata expired since

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,
Did a fresh install for Leap 15.6 today on my desktop.
When I do:
$ zypper lu
I get this warning:

Repository 'Main Update Repository' metadata expired since 2024-10-20 11:23:08 EEST

I saw before this warning when Leap 15.6 was on beta. It make sense.
But I don’t understand why I have now this message?
Could be a problem with my Software repos?
But I don’t see any problem:

zypper lr -u is a much more useful output, when asking others for help with repository issues, as it adds the actual URL’s of the repositories.

Ok, here is my output as you advised, I will keep in mind in the future :slight_smile:

I emptied /var/cache/zypp/ and refreshed again the repos list. But I get the same message. As I know the repos are cached here, locally.

Because there were no updates in this repository for some period. This question pops up pretty frequently and you could just search this forum.

Almost all updates to Leap come via SLE, “Main Update Repository” has very few packages, so they are updated rarely.

No.

Ok, I see now.
Thank you for your information!
