Description Forgotten User uytXIYOK7E 2017-03-17 14:45:10 UTC

zypper crashes when a repo file is missing the protocol in the download URL.  For example, the following repo file causes zypper to crash.

[home_Ximi1970_openSUSE_Extra]
baseurl=download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Ximi1970:/openSUSE:/Extra/openSUSE_Tumbleweed
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Ximi1970:/openSUSE:/Extra/openSUSE_Tumbleweed//repodata/repomd.xml.key
priority=99
autorefresh=1
keeppackages=1
type=rpm-md

Running any zypper command results in a crash as follows.

linux-0yvh:~ # zypper search bacula
Unexpected exception.
Url scheme is a required component
Please file a bug report about this.
See http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Troubleshooting for instructions

Where does the .repo file come from?

It needs to be fixed. As the message says, an URL schema is required to tell whether you want cd: dvd: ftp: http: https: hd: dir: iso: nfs: nfs4: smb: cifs: or obs:.

The repo file was created by puppet.  I have resolve the issue and zypper is working again.

It could still issue a more helpful error output, e.g.
# zypper search bacula
Error:
The /etc/zypp/repo.d/foo.repo baseurl= value
requires a URL scheme such as http://
