Description
Description
I am unable to refresh or update the repositories on openSUSE Slowroll. The process fails consistently with a timeout error when attempting to retrieve metadata (primary.xml.zst) via the CDN redirector.
It seems the MirrorCache is redirecting me to a mirror that is either down or extremely slow/unresponsive.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
sudo zypper reforsudo zypper dupon openSUSE Slowroll. - Wait for the connection attempt to the
update-slowrollrepo.
Observed Result
The operation fails with a curl timeout.
Log / Error Message
Repository 'update-slowroll' is invalid.
[openSUSE:update-slowroll|[http://download.opensuse.org/update/slowroll/repo/oss](http://download.opensuse.org/update/slowroll/repo/oss)] Failed to retrieve new repository metadata.
History:

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with sudo zypper ref or sudo zypper dup and inspect the update-slowroll redirect through the cited cdn.opensuse.org URL. Investigate why the Brazil-region redirect reaches an unresponsive mirror; done means repository metadata can be retrieved without Curl error 28.
