http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090505 Bug ID: 1090505 Summary: An older version of openSUSE Tumbleweed did not show any updates because zypper repos of type "yast2" are not found (needs to be rpm-md) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Upgrade Problems Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: okurz@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com CC: dimstar@opensuse.org, ma@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 767940 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=767940&action=edit y2logs including zypper.log showing errors and workarounds ## Observation On an older openSUSE Tumbleweed installation, originally from 2016, no available updates are shown since some time, I guess since the repo format of openSUSE Tumbleweed was changed to "rpm-md" by default?. Calling `zypper ref` reveals: ``` File '/content' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/' ``` ## Problem The repo configuration file /etc/zypp/repos.d/repo-oss.repo is configured with "type=yast2". Changing that to "type=rpm-md" fixes this. Shouldn't that transformation have happened automatically? If not possible then I am not sure if announcements project-wide were enough. ## Further details See attached y2log files including the zypper.log which shows the errors on trying to refresh the repos as well as the fixed updated calls. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Kinda, because I have libzypp 16.12.0-1.2 currently installed which is the old version before the fix in 16.14.0 but then I wonder about the yast online-update tool which was configured but apparently did not do its job properly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes. 16.14. will re-probe and detect that it's now rpm-md. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1048315 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Was that machine EVER updated in the time since libzypp was updated until the product published as an rpm-md repo? We had a > 6 month gap to get users going. At one point we just had to 'move'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Apparently not and I think you did nothing wrong with the big enough time gap. I just wonder why the yast automatic online update did not do what I expected it to do. And I am even assuming I did something wrong configuring it but I do not understand what hence my kinq request for someone with better understanding of the yast+zypper logs can help me understand what went wrong. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090505 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090505#c8 --- Comment #8 from Michael Andres --- (The '/content not found' error appears since 2018-03-26.) The zypper.log contains daily calls to `zypper --non-interactive --quiet patch --skip-interactive --no-recommends` since 2018-01-03. These calls see >1500 package update candidates, but seem to find not a single patch to apply. So there's nothing todo. Most probably because tumbleweed does not provide any patches. AFAIK TW likes to be updated by 'zypper dup'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Shouldn't that transformation have happened automatically?

No, why? YaST should not automatically modify the repos on a system. This is the task of the admin. YaST2 automatic_online_update is only made to run "zypper patch" (with some other parameters) via cron. It even skips interactive patches and the ones that require reboot of the system. The admin needs to make sure that an update repo is present. (at least that was the original aim when the YaST module was created - it might have changed over time). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
