...and without success :-( .
I just installed the 32-bit version of 12.2 on my wife's computer and want to now install KDE 4.9.x as well as kernel 3.6.3.7-1 (both of which I have running on my 64-bit computer).
I added the ....KDE:/Release/49/.... and the .....Kernel:/stable/standard/ repos in YaST and they were both accepted. Great.
Then in a terminal I start zypper and it refreshes all the repositories. Fine, wonderful.
I then type in 'zypper patch [or up, which gives the same result]' and it comes back with this error message:
linux-ewa1:~ # zypper patch Refreshing service 'Kernel_36-7'. Unexpected exception. Parse error: repoindex.xml[36] Opening and ending tag mismatch: form line 35 and td Please file a bug report about this. See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Troubleshooting for instructions.
OK, I thinks, if I now delete at least this Kernel repo then I should at least get zypper to do all the updates (if any) to all the other system files I have installed. So I delete that new entry for the kernel in YaST list of repos.
Zypper still insists that there is an error, as above, and will not go beyond this error.
Doing 'zypper lr -pu' doesn't show a repo 'Kernel_36-7' - of course not seeing as how I deleted it.
Remove it with zypper rr 'Kernel_36-7',

Thank you, Andreas, but I have already tried this and I get the response that this repo is not found in any shape or size or name (real or alias) :-( .
Reading your email again, It's a service, not a repo! Check /etc/zypp/services.d/
and try using zypper removeservice,
Andreas
Aah it's good to have a sense of humour nowadays :-D . Using zypper removeservice produced the same result that there is no such animal called 'Kernel_36-7' :-) . But it does exist in '.../zypp/services.d'. So I renamed it from '/etc/zypp/services.d/services.services' to '......./services.services.old' - but zypper _stil_l found it and spat the dummy! :-) So I moved this file to "another place" and now zypper is back doing what it should be doing - updating my wife's system with some files. Thank you for your help. And I hope that your new responsibilities are as fulfilling as those of the past and that they don't keep you away from your family (I notice that you even post on Sundays now).
