I have just updated my TeXLive installation via zypper by using the repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Publishing:/TeXLive/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/

Everything works as expected but on running the update-scripts at the end of
the installation, I see the following messages:

Running: texlive-kpathsea-2016.109.svn41139-104.1-zypper  (texlive-kpathsea,
/var/adm/update-scripts)

I have also updated TeXLive on my other openSUSE 13.2 installation from the
corresponding repository and also there the errors occur.

It seems that in my system these errors don't affect the functionality of
TeXLive, at least from the files I tested.
