Ok, there are different "-n" depending on where they are written. This one 
is:

       -n, --non-interactive

              Switches to non-interactive mode. In this mode zypper doesn't ask 
user to type answers to var‐
              ious prompts, but uses default answers automatically. The 
behaviour of this option is somewhat
              different than that of options like '--yes', since zypper can 
answer different answers to dif‐
              ferent questions. The answers also depend on other options like 
'--no-gpg-checks'.


however, it doesn't work wel enough:

You see. It has stopped only after 13 minutes run, I don't know why; maybe 
because my adsl went down from 03:19:48 to 03:20:20, and the FTP timed 
out. It doesn't retry automatically. You should think of adding an option 
for that, or to customize the answers.



There is no reliable way for us to do a "dup".


I try again, it doen't refresh the repo, and goes on:
