[opensuse-support] zypper update failed after power outage
After an unexpected power outage during an update I have run into a problem. The zypper dup stops right after checking for file conflicts (no conflicts) with following information : Installation of openSUSE-Addon-NonOss-release-2014-324.1.x86_64 failed: Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system) Retry does not produce a different output and ignore give me a whole riddle of similar remarks zypper clean && zypper ref && zypper dup do not solve a thing.

Filesystem corruption on power failure is anything but unusual. You have to cure the readonly filesystem problem before you can accomplish anything else. There are lots of Google hits explaining how to solve and repair / filesystem corruption causing readonly state.
Retry does not produce a different output and ignore give me a whole riddle of similar remarks zypper clean && zypper ref && zypper dup do not solve a thing.

Verify the output of the "mount" command if the filesystem is indeed "read only" and then find out why.

Well, the error message is clear... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
