OpenSUSE ci failing

[GabyCT]

The openSUSE Leap 15 ci is failing when trying to install the git command which makes impossible to clone a repository. I was able to reproduce this in an azure VM. It looks that git command is not being installed.

$ zypper -n install git

/cc @jodh-intel @chavafg

Any ideas @marcov ?

[jodh-intel]

Wow, CVS... ;)

This looks like it might be a transitory issue though as I've just removed git+cvs and re-installed the versions mentioned here with no problems.

[marcov]

I think this error is just a temporary network/mirror error.

BTW, CVS is being pulled because, by default, zypper is also installing recommended packages, and git-cvs is one of those.

This can be avoided in (at least) 2 ways:

• Use zypper install --no-recommends ...
• Have in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf the line: solver.onlyRequires = true

[GabyCT]

@marcov , I tried it with

$ sudo zypper install --no-recommends -y git 

However, now I am getting another error

  git git-core libpcre2-8-0 libsha1detectcoll1 perl-Error

As the issue is still present and we have the CI failing in all the repos, I will disable this job until this is fixed
/cc @chavafg @jodh-intel @marcov

[chavafg]

agree, lets disable until we find a solution with these dependencies.

[jodh-intel]

@GabyCT - wfm - as long as we have an issue so we don't forget to re-enable.

[jodh-intel]

@marcov - can we use this issue and assign to you?

[marcov]

hey, sorry for not answering before.

Again, the problem getting libpcre2-8-0-10.31-lp150.1.3.x86_64.rpm seems network/mirror related.

Make sure you have the OSS repo setup properly, with zypper lr -u you should have an entry with this URL: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss

Just as proof :-) here's the direct link of the package for Leap 15.0, and here some more info on the package.

[GabyCT]

@marcov the error still there

Problem occurred during or after installation or removal of packages:

[marcov]

Some ideas:

• Be sure to do a zypper refresh before installing anything
• If still failing, paste the output of zypper lr -u

[GabyCT]

@marcov thanks for the help, I modified the jenkins configuration to perform the zypper refresh before installing something and is working perfectly. I will enable again the opensuse CI.
