The openqa_worker module uses retry/zypper with 7 retries and exponential backoff so maybe the same is worth using here?
Going one step further and attempting to consolidate package installs since it would be nice if we didn't need to add yet another retry for every single case we run into.

New idea. Maybe we can use this to avoid having to ref in every single place?
##
## Amount of time in minutes that must pass before another refresh.
##
## Valid values: Integer
## Default value: 10
##
## If you have autorefresh enabled for a repository, it is checked for
## up-to-date metadata not more often than every <repo.refresh.delay>
## minutes. If an automatic request for refresh comes before <repo.refresh.delay>
## minutes passed since the last check, the request is ignored.
##
## A value of 0 means the repository will always be checked. To get the opposite
## effect, disable autorefresh for your repositories.
##
## This option has no effect for repositories with autorefresh disabled, nor for
## user-requested refresh.
##
# repo.refresh.delay = 10

Also to mention here, I got some input from the zypper devs. Unfortunately it seems the retry ref/in pattern is the most practical option right now - internally zypper can't refresh the metadata again short of forking itself as a work-around, and improvements to the architecture take time due to ABI compatibility requirements.

Both merged. Jobs in production look good.
