Hello!

After my last update I cannot update my system anymore. At first i thought a package is corrupt and waited for an update. But I tried now to update and it crashes during metadata loading. This is what I get:

[/FONT]Sadly, for unknown reasons at this update no snapshot was created (I use KDE and normally I use the CLI to update, but I could have used the KDE updater to update OS?!).

If the core dump helps, where can I find it?

Help is appreciated!! Many thanks in advance!

Greetings, samgam

This is long standing issue which so far is believed to be libcurl problem when using SSL. Do you observe the crash if you use plain http instead of https?

Hello arvidjaar,

many thanks for your fast reply. I changed all URLs in the .repo files to http:// but I get the same issue:

Before my holidays the update of my repo list works fine and it crashed during the download of the packages. First I thought it has something to do with xz library, but it seems to make no sense with the above output.

Here is issue I meant. Arguably fixed. Still you can try workaround suggested here.
Bugzilla reference: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185579

If you observe the same stack trace, you may consider reopening it.

Hi!

Many thanks for your links. I followed the steps in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185579#c13 and installed the actual libcurl4 and curl versions via rpm. The actual running zypper dup seems to work now.

Best regards, Samgam
