YaST uses libzypp, in this particular case I guess it's missing some libzypp
call. If you think it's libzypp feel free to reassign.

I never checked on 15.5.

From the y2log I attached:

i.e. it read a full RequestedLocales but wrote an empty one.

An earlier call to yast2 repositories read the file correctly and logged it:
