Cloud instance repos fail due to outdated packages

To update packages to a supported level, follow these steps:

• Create a PAYG instance with the same OS as instance with broken repos
• login as root
• Create a temporary directory:

mkdir -p /root/packages/rpms

For Google run:

zypper --pkg-cache-dir /root/packages/ download cloud-regionsrv-client cloud-regionsrv-client-plugin-gce regionServiceClientConfigGCE python3-gcemetadata SUSEConnect python3-cssselect python3-toml python3-lxml python3-M2Crypto python3-zypp-plugin

For AWS:

zypper --pkg-cache-dir /root/packages/ download cloud-regionsrv-client cloud-regionsrv-client-plugin-ec2 regionServiceClientConfigEC2 python3-ec2metadata SUSEConnect python3-cssselect python3-toml python3-lxml python3-M2Crypto python3-zypp-plugin

For Azure:

zypper --pkg-cache-dir /root/packages/ download cloud-regionsrv-client cloud-regionsrv-client-plugin-azure regionServiceClientConfigAzure python3-azuremetadata SUSEConnect python3-cssselect python3-toml python3-lxml python3-M2Crypto python3-zypp-plugin

Then run:

find /root/packages/ -type f -name "*.rpm" -exec cp {} /root/packages/rpms/ \;
cd /root/packages
tar -czvf suse-public-registration.tgz rpms

• Transfer suse-public-registration.tgz to the broken instance

tar xvfz suse-public-registration.tgz
cd rpms
zypper --no-refresh --no-remote --non-interactive install *.rpm
registercloudguest --force-new
