I essentially do the same thing with each of my other systems "update/upgrade" often using sudo . . . . I'm not digging down into the process and messing around with it. It is essentially box stock, run by zypper . . . .
Hey Fritz,
Assuming a Bourne compatible shell, you could do the following:
--8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<--
export ZYPP_MEDIANETWORK=1
export ZYPP_SINGLE_RPMTRANS=1
zypper dup -l
--8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<---8-<--
Cheers!

@Pablo: OK, thanks for the continuing hints . . . problem is that those commands or scripts add to the list of tasks needed to execute to run a basic ref/dup procedure . . . . Today happens to be Leap 15.5 day . . . in #screen -L #zypper ref && zypper dup -l showed 289 packages to upgrade or process, including a kernel upgrade to 5.14 . . . ten minutes later the cursor was back. Same machine, possibly same drive or even an HDD compared to the SSD that TW is in . . . . TW took 1.5 hours to process less packages???? F
