Zypper dup fails with 404 error (Security tools repository)

When trying to update (Zypper dup), I get this:

Preloading: libfipscheck1-1.7.0-47.41.x86_64.rpm [Error: "The requested URL returned error: 404", trying next mirror.]

It looks as if zypper is trying to use the version from the “Security tools” repo. I added that for Veracrypt.

bernd@linux:~> sudo zypper se -s libfipscheck

   | libfipscheck1-debuginfo       | package | 1.7.0-47.41 | x86_64 | Security tools (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)

but that fails.

Now, is there a way to tell zypper to use the oss repo for these files instead?
And is there a problem with the security tools repo?

You have improperly added repos. Simply activate the auto refresh for the security repo.
sudo zypper mr -r 9

Oh. Thank you very much.
I guess I could have noticed the “refresh” column myself :frowning:

However, does that mean that whenever I add a repo, for example

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/security.repo

that is not enough, and I always need to set autorefresh for that manually?

You can avoid this by adding the repo in a different way. If you don’t use the repo file, you can add the repo with the -f flag. This enables the auto refresh.

sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Security

From man zypper under de part for the addrepocommand:

-f, --refresh
Enable autorefresh of the repository. The autorefresh is disabled by default when adding new repositories.
