Did not work for me (same error). Thanks anyway. Guess it’s server’s problem?

Anyone knows if it’s networking issue? I tried installing these packages on another slowroll system but didn’t have these issues.

I simply don’t understand what’s wrong? Why it says can’t find packages on servers??

You seem to be directed to a broken mirror. This happens from time to time. You can add temporary a fixed mirror. Try to add one of these
https://mirrors.opensuse.org/

As example a german mirror for the update repo:

sudo zypper ar -f https://mirror1.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/update/slowroll/repo/oss/ oss-update

You can try other countries. Therefore the mirrorlist.

Thanks hui. Will try tomorrow…

Changed repo url and update became smooth. Also had to disable openSUSE service, which I don’t understand the benefit of having.

It is not the first time I was forced to a broken mirror. I think it is sane to disable mirror-cache gimmick, which has been reportedly problematic.
