   This is a tough one - avoiding the line wrap on "zypper lr --details" is   
   extremely difficult, but I have a good guess as to what I'm going to see   
   (YaST2 shows me what Repos I have, but not in a "text" form).   
      
   The system where this happened yesterday does have some repos defined   
   twice, that came from my upgrade to Leap 16.0 followed by an "upgrade"   
   to 15.6 a few days later.  There is some 16.0 process which adds repos   
   if it thinks they are missing and several are in there twice - one   
   "natural" and one from this process.  Deleting the extra ones does no   
   good, the process shows up and enters them again.  Maybe I should delete   
   the "natural" ones.   
      
   On the other hand, this also happens on my main system, and that one   
   never saw 16.0.  I applied the same updates yesterday on the main system   
   but without complaints.  This problem does occur on that system, just   
   not yesterday.
