Oh, what an impedance mismatch!

@neo75, let me try to translate the recommendations:

  • Check for full filesystems in Settings->Storage or by executing df -h
    If there is only little space left (denote where?) you have to (re)move stuff (you may ask “what?”, when you reported what you see).
    Lastly test if a pkcon refresh works.
  • If not, try removing the Zypper cache (reference, e.g., URL scheme is a required component): It is just a cache, you may simply remove it by executing devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
    Then test if a pkcon refresh works.

  1. No, I have not installed zypper as far as I know.
    zypper from command line shows just:
    -bash: zypper: not found

  2. Yes, I have paid license from year 2018 continually updated the SFOS.

O.K, repo config (ssu lr) looks O.K., neither the root partition or the home partition is full (although 687 MB free is getting tight for SFOS upgrades), so two options remain:

Good luck!

Thanks for support! I will try it. Just for being sure, I am asking:
devel-su rm -rf /home/.zypp-cache/*
deletes a lot of data.
What exactly will happen after this rm command?
What is the .zypp-cache directory for?

Thanks

#16

Nothing will “happen”, just because you delete the cached data for libzypp.

What is the .zypp-cache directory for?

Caching repo-data for libzypp. You might look at its entries and RTFM.

But actually I makes sense to try this first (see ssu --help):
devel-su
rm -f /var/cache/ssu/features.ini
ssu ur

Ah I think I got it. this is wrong:

* mentaljam-obs … [Index of /obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl](http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl/)

Anyway you should be able to

devel-su ssu rr mentaljam-obs
pkcon refresh

and things should start to work again.

Later you can do

    ssu ar mentaljam-obs http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mentaljam/4.3.0.15_armv7hl/

taking care that it’s a proper URL.

But it would be interesting how this ended up in your repo list. Did you ever add that repo manually? It looks like it can be caused by copy-pasting from this forum or another place which silently replaces URLs by markdown syntax.

After command: “devel-su ssu rr mentaljam-obs”
I have obtained the same message as before:

#22

You could try to edit that repo out (or fix the url) in /etc/ssu.ini maybe?

#23

Actually, it might be it’s just the forum formatting/preview thing which makes the entry look wrong in the post above.
Because I just added that ‘illegal’ value to my local ssu.ini and it does not cause breakage.

@neo75 please look at the /etc/ssu/ssu.ini file itself and see if any of the lines in there look like they might have an illegal/unusual value.

#24

I also found this:

https://together.jolla.com/question/226649/updating-to-33016-fails-via-ui-and-terminal/

where the suggestion is to move away all the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and try again.

that repo ‘dr’ with no url seems weird, try to remove it with ‘devel-su ssu rr dr’, if that fails try to edit /etc/ssu/ssu.ini and remove that line (make a backup first just in case ‘cp /etc/ssu/ssu.ini ~/’)

That looks good! Without any error!

Now I was able to update to SFOS 4.4.0.58 without any troubles!
