Description Freek de Kruijf 2023-08-27 15:00:30 UTC

Searching for packet perl-Domain-PublicSuffix on software.opensuse.org and selecting openSUSE and manual installation gives the following instructions for Leap 15.5:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:languages:perl/15.5/devel:languages:perl.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install perl-Domain-PublicSuffix

The first line appears wrong when performing "zypper refresh", this line should read:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:languages:perl/15.5/

All manual installation instructions on software.opensuse.org (no matter which package) point to the repo file and suggest a zypper refresh. So this is not only for perl-Domain-PublicSuffix but for all packages.

This bugreport seems invalid.

Reporter this is valid syntax. Why do youn think it is wrong?

Comment 3 Andreas Stieger 2023-08-28 06:02:54 UTC

instructions are correct, maybe the user is not aware of the .repo files. Likewise the suggested command by the user is not correct syntax. Closing

Comment 4 Freek de Kruijf 2023-08-28 07:58:23 UTC

Yesterday on a Raspberry Pi 4B with Leap 15.5 I tried this command and after that "zypper refresh" it produced an error message. So I inspected the .repo file which showed the .repo as the url. After removing the file name the refresh did succeed. Using my suggested command without the .repo filename resulted also in an entry in zypper which produced no error with refresh.

I repeated a few moments ago the given command and now refresh did work OK.

Must have been some glitch.
