One cause for it would be that you are on a corporate network, which does antivir analysis and these files trigger a positive.
Indeed. There is a Cisco Ironport sniffing everything. I can get the files elsewhere.
So, I thought I would put the files in /var/cache/zypp/packages/repo-oss/suse/noarch so the files would not need to be retrieved again. All the other files waiting to be installed are there, and zypper does not try to get those again.
Should work. Maybe the checksum fails?
Seems just adding these files here does not make zypper see them. I guess that's too easy. It tries to retrieve them again.
Is there any way to get zypper to use these files instead of trying to download them again?
Try to install/update them with "rpm" manually.
Not possible because they require other things be installed. Which is what I am trying to do...
Or create a local directory as repository, tell YaST, and put the files there.
I put the files (obtained outside the corporate network - sneakernet prevailed!) in a local directory, and added that as a repo. Then I 'downloaded' them with zypper -d. After that, the zypper dup completed as the files were now happily present.
