Zypper Refresh Issues

English Applications

Hi,
I’ve noticed something odd with TW #20240329. To be honest I thought I spied this last month as well.

The issue is when I do a zypper search I get a message about repos being out-of-date.

chris@asus-roc:~>$zypper se -s blanket

Fair enough I thought so I did a manual refresh.

chris@asus-roc:~>$sudo zypper refresh

All repositories have been refreshed.

When I did the same search immediately after the manual refresh zypper still complains about the refresh.

It is already reported in bugzilla…
There is even a forum thread about this…
