thanks Carlos and Bogdan for your replies; /var/log/zypper.log is
> 60000 lines long and I can't identify  which relate to the error I
was seeing;
since things work fine again for the time being, I'll let them be for now;
possibly the problem was caused by an update gone wrong due to bad
internet connection

the problem went away when I used su  to become root and then called zypper

I'll use your suggestion if the problem recurrs.

regards
 Geza
