I don’t have much of a clue of what I’m doing, but I wanted to update to the new version of OpenSuse. It seems to not be possible, however, due to ‘invalid’ repositories. They are apparently ‘orphaned’, and when I attempt to open them I get web-pages with errors.
I’ve added an image of the console showing information that may be useful… Sorry for it being in Dutch, I tried to set the language to English, but it seems to only change the UI texts.
The error message after ‘dist-upgrade’ reads ‘Because of the treatment of orphaned packages, the dist-upgrade depends on the correct setup of repositories [I think] more than any other command. It shouldn’t continue if the enabled repositories don’t want to refresh. This could seriously damage the system. If a non-refreshed repository isn’t really necessary, it should be disabled. See “man zypper” for more information on this command.’
… Hmm. How do I determine if a non-functioning repository (which I suppose the items in orange are) is ‘really necessary’?

You should have a look at the official document about updating en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade.
Edit: The recommended way is the opensuse-migration-tool.
I don’t read anything about that being the recommended method, but I’ll give it a shot and try that tomorrow, then.
That was my take on it at least. Manual way tends to sound to me the “if you really want to do this the hard way” option.
