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????
