zypper wants to "update" system w/2GB of patches ???

LEAP 42.1, upgraded from 13.2 in July, running normally until now.

2.77GB of updates seems very wrong. The normal updates (zypper up) are for less than 20 changes and total less than a 100MB as a rule. Now zypper gives me a list of hundreds of apps to change w/a byte count close to the whole initial install. IIRC the last change I made was to install “atop” from the Suse software build pages. It said a conflict occurred w/wine which made no sense and I selected the choice that said, more or less, “break wine”. “atop” installed and runs fine, wine runs fine - but perhaps that install caused this problem?

What gives? My repo’s are the standard 42.1 url’s, plus the two below which were added when I installed software from the suse build site. The “monitoring” repo is probably for “atop”: “aevseev” may be from an “android file transfer” utility. I have disabled both these repos below but zypper is still trying to swallow the world.

and

Category: YUM

Any options besides reinstall or let zypper run? I don’t have time to recreate the system right now, and letting zypper try to effectively reinstall everything sounds like a disaster. So this could spell the end of updates to this distro until next year.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi
Use the -vv option to see what is happening and force a refresh of your repos;


zypper ref -f
zypper -vv lu

Not pulling in something like texlive?

Be sure all repos are 42.1 and you have not added a 42.2 or other by mistake
