Hi  
Could be a transient problem with the update servers (updates arriving on the server at the same time as you ran your commands). Have you tried again?

Try a cache rebuild amd add some verbosity to see if there is more info;

[CODE]  
zypper -vvv ref -f  
zypper -vvv list-patches  
[/CODE}

Hi  
With the first command above the -f option if you run zypper ref --help it shows additional options (there is also the clean option (zypper clean --help).

Sorry, one question in had.  
Why should I get a user and password on this zipper command? I’ve never set one.

# zypper list-patches

Hi  
Check the registration status, if you run;

```auto
SUSEConnect --status-text
```

Does it show the server is registered? (Your not going through a proxy  
at all?).

then I get

# SUSEConnect --status-text

Error: Invalid system credentials, probably because the registered system was deleted in SUSE Customer Center. Check [https://scc.suse.com](https://scc.suse.com) whether your system appears there. If it does not, please call SUSEConnect --cleanup and re-register this system.

OK, now I have it

I use SUSEConnect --regcode 872680xxxx

After this insert I also can open the patch-list with zipper list-patches

Thank you very much.
