--dry-run is not a global flag. It is specific to the install command. Put it in the correct place!
As you can see in another post I noticed and did it the other way later, and it failed. It is on another post, I'll paste it for you: Telcontar:~ # l /var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-update/rpms/x86_64/mariadb-10.2.25-lp150.2.16.1.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18629400 Aug 23 12:26 /var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-update/rpms/x86_64/mariadb-10.2.25-lp150.2.16.1.x86_64.rpm (The file is there.)
