[opensuse-factory] Misleading zypper error message
Hello,
A recent zypper dup removed the gpg2 package from my system (I have no
idea why). When I later tried to update again I ended up with the following
error:
Checking whether to refresh metadata for factory

Skipping repository 'factory' because of the above error.
The error message isn't really helpful. Should I open a bug requesting
a less misleading error message like "gpg not found - couldn't verify
key"?

I'd say, that depends. If rpm -V zypper libzypp is silent, then it's a bug in the package. But if the gpg2 is a missing dependency, then it's your fault / usual factory problem. BTW: x86_64 still shows these problems as gpg2 is having issues - most likely with the openldap update.
