Comment # 3 on bug 1226956 from Michael Andres

# Content of repo-oss.repo will be newly managed by zypp-services.

AFAIK the openSUSE-repos-* packages introduce a local Service.

A Service is a kind of remote repo control. The Service retrieves a
repoindex.xml file (local and provided by the package in this case). This file
describes the repos which should be present on the system and associated with
the Service.

It looks like the package installed the Service and removed the individual
repos which are now maintained by the service. But it forgot to refresh the
Service, which is the action that translates the repoindex.xml into a set of
repos.

This is how it probably looks like on your system.

This command is missing. It will create the repos.

Lubos should know more about the openSUSE-repos-* packages
