gitlab-ci: amd64-opensuse-leap-container job failing

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Hi,

FYI the OpenSUSE job is failing since few days, i.e.:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/1622345026

  Retrieving repository 'Main Repository' metadata
[..........................................................error]
  Repository 'Main Repository' is invalid.

[repo-oss|http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/]
Valid metadata not found at specified URL
  History:
   - Download (curl) error for
'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml':
  Error code: Curl error 56
  Error message: Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
   - Can't provide /repodata/repomd.xml
  Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a
valid repository.
  Warning: Skipping repository 'Main Repository' because of the above error.

I tried to run 'zypper ref' with:

but no luck: https://gitlab.com/philmd/qemu/-/jobs/1623554962

Should we temporarily disable to job and its dependencies?

Regards,

Phil.
