Out of sync mirrors do cause problems, zypper dup will throw up lots of conflicts one day and be largely fine next day when the full synch is completed. The list could be informed of when synch is about to happen
Which mirror(s) do you regularly use? Did you also try to access download.opensuse.org directly? The latter should help you to avoid the need to wait for an up to date mirror. Does that work for you? Please let me know if not.
and when the mirrors are likely to be fully synched - confusing things happen when the synch is in progress. Emperically I observe that Saturday is a bad day to update, Tuesdays usually OK. Regards Sid.
