Seems that the root cause is to try to use a TW net iso that is more recent than the default TW oss repo content. http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ For Leap 42.2 there is no more error today because default oss repo and last iso accessible as now openQA passed. https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/21 For TW, because some openQA tests are failing the oss repo is not updated versus last iso used for tests. https://build.opensuse.org/project/dashboard/openSUSE:Factory:PowerPC === Versions Source: 20161116 Testing: 20161115 Published: 20160927-ppc64 === Is there a way to access the openqa repo http://openqa.opensuse.org/assets/repo/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-oss-ppc64_ppc64le-Snapshot20161115 outside openQA ?
