Hi
Possibly using an unsynced mirror, try refreshing in an hour or so. Or try a forced rebuild;


zypper ref -f

Pointed to a different mirror, ran zypper up, then reset to default solved the error.

Hi
If it happens again, I would set a mirror close by and just use that…

I ran into a similar problem a few days ago.

I skipped the update. Then I tried again a few hours later and all was fine.

As Malcolm said, it has to do with mirrors updating.

I had a similar error but discarded the package:

Was it correct to do so?
