Did you have a look at the zypper logs first? They are very detailed.
Didn't know where those logs were nor that they were kept, but I figured the program probably made kernel calls, so that's why I hit strace first. Second place to hit was using the 'verbose' option on zypper. Problem was zypper didn't like that repomd.xml referenced files in 'repodata' for other languages that I didn't download. Soooo, instead I edited 'repomd.xml' and removed the files I didn't need. Now zypper only issues a warning about a checksum mismatch and asked me if I wanted to proceed -- I said yes, and it stores the exception.
I did a zypper refresh and it wrote 3580 lines.
--- Yikes!, information overload. The verbose option told me it was missing alt-language files -- only listed the 1st one which gave me the idea to delete them from the repomd.xml file.
