[TW] Main repository ... is invalid
I have just tried to update my Tumbleweed system and run into the following problem: sudo zypper dup [sudo] password for root: Retrieving repository 'Main Repository (NON-OSS) (20230717)' metadata ..........................................................................................[error] Repository 'Main Repository (NON-OSS) (20230717)' is invalid.

Updates (dup) were working fine a couple of weeks ago. A 20230717 snapshot seems quite old. How can I correct this? -- Bob Williams No HTML please.

And did you do what it tells you before posting?

you used tumbleweed-cli to pin your system to a specific snapshot - 20230717 to be precise. The oldest one available in the history is 20230801 though; Tell tumbleweed-cli to move the pointer forward to an existing snaphsot. Cheers, Dominique

That can happen when a mirror isn't responsive. Unfortunately, zypper does not offer to retry the download during repository refreshes. -- Andreas Schwab, SUSE Labs, schwab@suse.de GPG Key fingerprint = 0196 BAD8 1CE9 1970 F4BE 1748 E4D4 88E3 0EEA B9D7 "And now for something completely different."
