Here is the package information and full command output: createrepo_c-0.16.0-3.3.1.x86_64 libcreaterepo_c0-0.16.0-3.3.1.x86_64 python3-createrepo_c-0.16.0-3.3.1.x86_64 mrbill@rocky:~> /usr/bin/createrepo --update /home/mrbill/Documents/repositories/codeweavers/openSUSE Directory walk started Directory walk done - 9 packages C_CREATEREPOLIB: Critical: cr_metadata_load_xml: Error encountered while parsing Loaded information about 0 packages Temporary output repo path: /home/mrbill/Documents/repositories/codeweavers/openSUSE/.repodata/ Preparing sqlite DBs Pool started (with 5 workers) # <-- Last line of output, where I press <Ctrl-C>. I also have to delete the temporary .repodata directory. I have been running this command for many, many years, beginning on a now very old, pre-Leap version of openSUSE, and do not remember ever having this problem. I also boot Tumbleweed on the same PC, and it works as expected. Here is the Tumbleweed package info and command output: createrepo_c-1.0.2-2.1.x86_64 libcreaterepo_c1-1.0.2-2.1.x86_64 python3-createrepo_c-1.0.2-2.1.x86_64 mrbill@rocky:~> /usr/bin/createrepo --update /home/mrbill/Documents/repositories/codeweavers/openSUSE Directory walk started Directory walk done - 9 packages Loaded information about 8 packages Temporary output repo path: /home/mrbill/Documents/repositories/codeweavers/openSUSE/.repodata/ Pool started (with 5 workers) Pool finished mrbill@rocky:~> I thought someone should know of this problem.
