Does it make any sense? yes. this is pretty much where I started looking in already and what I expected... from what I found in the images there is a stale zypp.pid in there for some reason. https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Factory:Live/openSUSE-images?linkrev=base&rev=27 is an attempt to get this fixed already (I reverted the first - was not happy with the partial clenaup only) - the next snapshot will show it to be true/false
