Comment # 2 on bug 902769 from Michael Andres

(In reply to Patti Sheaffer from comment #0)
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1. bare metal install of 12.3 or 13.1
> 2. configure proxy - verify it works by refreshing repos
> 3. run zypper update or zypper patch - offers to instal ~900 update/patch
> 4. select (i) for ignore on about 20 packages which are on standard repos 
> 5. complete update on other packages

Are you sure the ignored errors happened during 'installation' of packages and
during 'download'?

Zypper per default downloads all needed packages in advance. You can skip
packages if a download error occurs, downloading as much as possible to the
package cache.

But actual package installation is not started if not all required packages are
in the cache. The download errors need to be fixed e.g. by retrieving the
packages from a different source or by deselecting affected patches.

> 6. rerun zypper update - it still offers to install on all 900 update/patch

This would be right, if download errors occurred. The packages are not yet
installed, so there are still 900 patches waiting. 


> 7. change from "standard" (default) opensuse repos/mirrors to
> mirrors.kernel.org update repos
> 8. run zypper or yast - all updates are done correctly

Once all required packages are successfully downloaded, the are actually
installed.
