Description
Our monitoring collects Zypper metrics such as the needs-rebooting status and pending updates using a zypper-metrics timer. This timer does not run as root, because we already refresh as part of os-update daily, and do not needs fully accurate pending updates numbers.
It seems this no longer works on Tumbleweed however, even after a root initiated zypper refresh:
discourse01 (discourse):~ # zypper ref
Repository 'darix:apps' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE:infrastructure' is up to date.
Repository 'openSUSE:infrastructure:discourse' is up to date.
Repository 'repo-oss' is up to date.
Repository 'repo-update' is up to date.
All repositories have been refreshed.
discourse01 (discourse):~ # sudo -u monitor zypper --no-refresh lu

Full rebuild does not help either:
discourse01 (discourse):~ # rpm --rebuilddb
discourse01 (discourse):~ # zypper ref -f

The cache seems to contain broken repo_gpgcheck symlinks, unsure if related, but is not the case on my personal Tumbleweed system:
Example for repo-update, but is the case for all repo directories under raw/:
discourse01 (discourse):~ # ls -al /var/cache/zypp/raw/repo-update/
total 12
