https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225962 Bug ID: 1225962 Summary: zypper list-updates no longer works rootless Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: georg.pfuetzenreuter@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, for our monitoring, we execute `zypper lu` without root privileges. I'm aware this does not allow for refresh, but since we regularly run `zypper ref` as root as part of another job anyways, this was never an issue for our use case. Since some update in the last weeks (unfortunately cannot pin point which one), this no longer works. ``` discourse01 (discourse):~ # zypper ref Repository 'darix:apps' is up to date. Repository 'openSUSE:infrastructure' is up to date. Repository 'openSUSE:infrastructure:discourse' is up to date. Repository 'repo-oss' is up to date. Repository 'repo-update' is up to date. All repositories have been refreshed. discourse01 (discourse):~ # sudo -u monitor zypper --no-refresh lu Error building the cache: [darix:apps|http://download-prg.infra.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/darix:/apps/openSU...] Valid metadata not found at specified URL History: - Can't create /var/cache/zypp/raw/darix:apps Warning: The metadata cache needs to be built for the 'darix:apps' repository.

Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No updates found. ``` Refresh with `--force` does not help either. The directories do exist: ``` discourse01 (discourse):~ # ls -al /var/cache/zypp/raw/ total 28 drwxr-x--- 7 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:53 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 14 12:21 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:50 darix:apps drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:50 openSUSE:infrastructure drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:50 openSUSE:infrastructure:discourse drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:50 repo-oss drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 4 18:50 repo-update ``` On Leap 15.5, this still works as expected: ``` falkor21 (Hypervisor):~ # sudo -u monitor zypper lu Repository : Time since last refresh openSUSE:infrastructure : 17 h 32 min openSUSE:infrastructure:physical : 17 h 32 min repo-backports-update : 17 h 32 min repo-oss : 2 D 4 h repo-sle-update : 17 h 32 min repo-update-oss : 17 h 32 min Note: Running with user privileges. From time to time run 'zypper refresh' as root to make sure the repository metadata are complete and up-to-date. Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... < list of pending updates > ``` Any ideas? Would be great to avoid having to run our monitoring check as root on Tumbleweed now.
