No provider of 'retry' found.

Could be related to https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5840, at least related to #163112 . We should try to avoid all zypper operations in bootstrap if the container can already provide necessary dependencies.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: No errors due to retry not being installable from Tumbleweed sources

Suggestions¶

• Install retry in the container - no need to install it and possibly fail to install it
• go back to using scripted retry inside bootstrap
