thanks Carlos and Bogdan for your replies; /var/log/zypper.log is possibly the problem was caused by an update gone wrong due to bad internet connection
the problem went away when I used su to become root and then called zypper
You are better off using su - then plain su. That way you are using root's login environment instead of the user's login environment.
I'll use your suggestion if the problem recurrs.

I would go with su -c "command" (v.g. commands like zypper patch or zypper up...) It is precise and exclusive command specially if you want it to perform just that.
