   Hi ,every attempt at patching installed software fails with the same   
   type of error. It complains about somefile.noarch.rpm   
      
   This happens with zypper or yast   
      
   It is not the same file each time but it is always a noarch file.   
      
      
   2 OS patches have failed as  has a bash update and a Libreoffice update.   
   The LibreOffice did work manually via yast when I added the LO 7.2 repo   
   manually.   
      
   I forced a total update via yast  over the internet to see if that made   
   a difference but I saw the same problem . I wondered if there had been   
   updates to the software and that was the easiest way to check.   
      
      
      
      
      
   Here is a typical output from Yast
