YaST Online Update not seeing local repository
Last modified: 2023-07-23 11:15:44 UTC
Created attachment 868375 [details] Shows repository locations Hello, I have recently upgraded from Leap 15.4 to 15.5 and all went well. As I run a few machines I download rpms/patches to one of the machines and share the directory via NFS so that all the machines can do an Online Update against the NFS directories. This involves some editing of repository locations inside YaST (on all machines) after the initial upgrade but it has worked from 15.0 all the way up to 15.4. Sadly it is not working in 15.5. Online Update in 15.5 does not show any packages. I may have missed a step or the list of necessary repositories may have changed. Anyway, I know I am at the point where I need some help. Running this shows: sudo zypper update --dry-run update Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'update' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'update' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. with "'update' not found in package names. Trying capabilities." in red I am attaching the output of zypper lr -u -P which shows that I have created four local 'repositories'. It is probably going to be a Doh! moment on my part. Any help welcome. Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you, Stanley
The error message should be self explanatory. With your command you try to update a non existing package called "update": sudo zypper update --dry-run update So correct your command and do: sudo zypper update --dry-run
Thank you. That was my Doh! moment. Can you explain why the GUI is not showing me the list of packages to update via YaST -> Online Update It is empty which is why I wrote this report.
Did you try to set these local repos to auto refresh? It is disabled...
Thank you. That was the cause of my problem. Mistyping the zypper command just added to my confusion. Summary: "YaST Online Update not seeing local repository" is fixed. You must select: [x] Automatically Refresh as well as download all the rpms/patches to a local directory.
closing then...
