Not sure if anyone else is also seeing this, but I have been getting out-of-date repository warnings for the past day or so:
Rockstor:~ # zypper up --no-recommends
Loading repository data…
Warning: Repository ‘Leap_15_3_Updates’ appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
Reading installed packages…
The following 3 package updates will NOT be installed:
dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart
Nothing to do.

I ran into the same. It looks a little bit like a previous issue:
But as far as I know, Rockstor isn’t that easily compatible with 15.4 at the moment, so i didn’t try to update it to 15.4.
I’m sure somebody with a better understanding of openSUSE update mechanism will correct me.
Yes, 15.4 has no Python 2 by default which we still use. But once our testing branch Django update settles we can tackle that next (along with it’s brethren).
@GeoffA Before doing a zypper action, and especially if you get this message, try the following:
zypper refresh
It then updates the local ‘view’/cache of the repositories and your should be good.
I saw the same thing for a while even with zypper refresh, but today is has also disappeared.
I did a test upgrade from 15.3 (with kernel backport installed) to 15.4 on a VM to see what would happen, and it seemed to have worked fine on the surface, but of course, since it was an upgrade the existing dependencies like Python 2 remained in place from the original install. Since I am not testing every single feature in that VM I won’t run the risk to do this to my “prod” instance, but I was just curious about it. I guess, if anything, it is somewhat of an indication that the “standard” component upgrades are possibly not impacting Rockstor, which could be a good sign, once we get closer to a newer Django version in the test channel.
