I would say, you have a current libzypp (6.2.2), but an outdated aria2
(1.2.0, but without a certain fix).

This combination of packages could occur if updated libzypp from
zypp:Head before the fixed aria2 package was in Factory.

libzypp 6.2.2 uses an aria2c feature which was broken in aria2 1.2.0,
which was discovered via zypp:Head on Friday/Saturday, and fixed before
libzypp 6.2.2 was submitted to Factory.

Peter,

you're a genius! I'm only using openSUSE:Factory (with some very few addons,
which should never conflict with Factory...)

But as I could not use zypper dup for a while (missing a driver for my wlan,
so I needed to stay on an older kernel and was only doing zypper up
<small chunks of packages I can control> for a while...
and apparently with the last update of zypper / libzypp I missed to also get
aria2 in the latest stack.

Grabbed the RPM off of download.o.o/factory, rpm -Uhv'ed it, and zypper is
working fine again.
Thanks for your help!!!

Cool that this helped. I tried hard to be the first to run into this
bug, fix it as soon as possible and you may suspect that I tracked its
way to Factory with quite some attention ;)

Thanks for confirming the (now) benign situation, and sorry about the
hassle.

Dominique

PS: Peter, I always have trouble replying to your mails. Hitting 'reply'
gives me always only the line

from you. Ever heard something alike? MUA is GroupWise 8 on Linux.

Hm, so you are saying you get an empty "quote" when composing your
reply - where there should be quoted text there's only empty space? No
idea. I'm using mutt with no fancy features. A GPG signature is
appended, so my mail is always multipart mime-encoded.
