Zypper dup: "Error building the cache" on some repos for hours now

#1

In the last few days, when I execute a ‘zypper dup’ command, I am getting the following repository caching error below. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Error building the cache:

[download.opensuse.org-oss|https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/] Failed to cache repo (1).

History:

- 'repo2solv' '-o' '/var/cache/zypp/solv/download.opensuse.org-oss/solv' '-X' '/var/cache/zypp/raw/download.opensuse.org-oss'

There’s a thread in factory list describing the issue and possible solutions. See this post from TW release manager.

I’d download the required .rpm directly, and install with the rpm command.

Thanks. That actually worked.
