I got this weird error I’d never seen before,
and started writing this post to ask about it,
but by the time I went to post this and ran zypper dup again to double-check,
the error had stopped happening,
and everything appears to be back to normal now.
So I guess I’m just curious now: what caused it?
Did I just coincidentally catch it in a super rare inconsistent state while it was being updated or something?
$ sudo zypper dup

I’m not sure “Install/Boot/Login” is the right category for this question,
but I didn’t see any category that seemed more obviously fitting for “updating/repositories” or whatever,
and I did just do a reinstall, so maybe it’s related? (Very much doubt it.)
… Actually, I just noticed when I get my my repos list with zypper repos --uri
it still has “openSUSE-20230622-0” with the URI to the USB flash thumbdrive I had the install ISO on:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | URI
---+----------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-----------+---------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 | openSUSE-20230622-0 | openSUSE-202306-> | No | ---- | ---- | hd:/?device=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Lexar_USB_Flash_Drive_AAPFE4BIMV0XVF4M-0:0-part2
But like, I never plugged that thumbdrive in to the computer after the install was done,
and obviously I’m never gonna use it again with this install,
and I must’ve done a successful upgrade between then and now anyway,
because my current tumbleweed is 20230624-0…

But maybe that’s normal/intended for the flash drive you installed from to stay in your repos?
(Maybe for users who don’t have internet afterwards, but go like “oops, I forgot to install libreoffice” or something after the install?)
So I’d guess that thumbdrive repo thing is something that’s always been like that and I’ve just never noted it before,
and it’s completely unrelated to the weird new transient “unsigned file” error, right?
(Sorry if my questions here are kinda dumb and pointless, but I was just curious to understand the system I’m using a little better…)
