Hi
Unless refresh is disabled for the repositories it does it before the
dup, but maybe force a refresh (zypper ref -f).
@OP, I always add verbosity to see more dup info;
zypper -vvv dup
It could also have been in transition for the next snapshot release
(20211119), normally if having issues, wait an hour or so and try again.
