Thanks. Then I am guessing there should be no reason why I can't just zypper in the rstudio rpm package which I have been doing for awhile. Why then am I getting this error when trying to install the rpm package?
You should remove the installed version, probably using "make uninstall", but that should not impede the rpm from working.

I don't have it clear. One posibility is that your rpm database is corrupted, in which case you have to do something like:
rpm --rebuilddatabase
but I'm not sure of the syntax (not in man).
Another posibility is that the oneclick you used is bad. If you know where is the rpm file, just download it and use "rpm" to install it.

I have explored the issue further with someone who mailed me directly, and through testing, have rebalanced my btrfs drive, rebuilt the database, and ran zypper clean to no avail. I then tested whether I could install the Dropbox rpm and it gave the same error: -- Error building the cache: [|] Failed to cache repo (1). Building repository 'Plain RPM files cache' cache ............................................................[done] Error building the cache: [|] Failed to cache repo (1). -- So my problem seems to be somewhere along the way, my TW installation lost the ability to build the 'Plain RPM files cache'. Remedies?
