I just did a fresh install of opensuse Leap 15.4 and after starting Yast, I got the following message:

p.s.: how do I upload images to the forum (not from url!)?

As described in Terms&Conditions (which you agreed on when signing up):

Imho it’s cumbersome to host images & screenshots on other hosts. I find it disappointing that it’s not possible to upload images to this forum like most other fora, just my opinion.

Hm, this doesn’t match with the output from your repo list. A fresh install wouldn’t contain so much (useless) repos. It looks more like an upgraded Leap 15.3 which is incomplete. As other users don’t have this problem with a “real fresh” Leap 15.4 the problem may lay in one of these repos that you added later on:

After the fresh install, I changed the url of the repos and added some other. They are the same as on my other Leap 15.4 boxes.

The message disappeared. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the fact that I adjusted the time zone…

Thanks for trying to help, it’s much appreciated :good:

No. The original Leap 15.4 openSUSE-release package indeed had EOL 2022-11-30. The updated package now has 2023-11-30. So if you installed Leap 15.4 after 2022-11-30 from the original offline image without update repositories, then the warning was “correct”. There was updated release of installation images which should include updated openSUSE-release. What exact image you used for installation and where you got it from (full URL)?

Which is still strange because it should have been 2023-11-30. Even if zypper prints information in local time zone, I wonder how it could differ by 24 hours.

I see, thank you for clearing that up. The dvd iso image was still on a usb pendrive which I also used for my two other opensuse boxes but that
was months ago. I don’t know exactly from where I downloaded it, it must be from one of the mirrors in Europe.
Most likely I used this link: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.4/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.4-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso

Here’s the sha256 checksum: 4683345f242397c7fd7d89a50731a120ffd60a24460e21d2634e783b3c169695 openSUSE-Leap-15.4-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso

Yes, this is the original GA installation image.

Even worse – the local time zone of the OP is “EST” – Eastern Standard Time – the Eastern Seaboard of the USA – the 5th Time Zone west of Greenwich …

  • Which is 5 hours behind UTC …
