I attempted to add a repos to zypper and pointed to a bad or invalid url, now I’m getting:
There was an error in the repository initialization.

Any ideas how I can remove this repo entry and eliminate the error?

Hi
Run the command;
zypper --no-refresh lrYou can the see the offending repo in the list, then use the rr command
to remove the uri number(#), first column in the list;
zypper rr <uri_#>–

Hi
Also, since your on s390x, if you grab the src rpm and rebuild locally
you may get a better result… only needed aside from the rpm build
environment is gcc-c++.

…tried that, but I don’t see anything that resembles the offending repo reference:

Hi
13 would be the install media and since you have the online repos can be disabled (I would leave in case needed);
zypper mr -d -R -p 101 13You can also do that for any of the debug repos to move them out of the way, just use the uri number, to get them back if needed;
zypper mr -e -r -p 99 <uri>I would now try forcing a refresh of the meta data;
zypper ref --forceYou are suggesting all of the ‘Debuginfo’ items?

Hi
Yes, as you can see they are all disabled anyway, it just moves them out of the picture until needed. But it doesn’t matter, your call 
Malcolm,
Getting the same error during "Initializing Online Update. I don’t think it’s showing up in the list and is “cached” somewhere?
Any other ideas?
-Frank
Hi
Is this error via zypper or YaST? If via YaST, can you use zypper to
update?

This occurs from YAST (text user interface), after I select, “Software” then “Online Update”.

Hi
And if you use zypper instead?

Hi Frank,
you might have a look at /etc/zypp/repos.d and compared the files there with what you’re seeing in the repos list - if there’s any extra, that may well be your bad repos.
Have you run “zypper --clean -a” to clear any zypper cache?
Regards,
Jens
zypper clean -a didn’t help
Will compar /etc/zypp/repos to those listed.
Thanks,
Frank
I’m just not seeing it:

Hi
I think you might have to go through and disable all repo’s and refresh, then add them back one at a time and force a cache refresh…
zypper mr -d -R -aThe above will disable them all and disable refresh, then add one by one;
zypper mr -e -r 1
zypper ref -f
zypper mr -e -r 2
zypper ref -f
etc...Appears the reference is comeing from /etc/zypp/services.d/service:
/etc/zypp/services.d # cat service.service
[service]
name=service
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
url = http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/utilities/SLE_12/incron.ymp
type = ris
