@Martin Kneesch Apologies for the delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.
Can you please confirm if you have followed below for adding repository to SLES SP1 using zypper or even if you are referring to any other documentation for same let me know:
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP1/html/SLES-all/cha-sw-cl.html
Permission denied for same can be because of different reason.
One such reason as mentioned here :
After switching my repos to mirrors, I was good. The I noticed the updates really didn't exist on that mirror. After some playing around, I got the actual opensuse repos to work. I deleted them all, zypper clean all -s, and a reboot before finally adding the repos back with success
Another similar issue mentioned here stats :
I re-registered the extension using the registration code for the base system and the problem disappeared:
sudo SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.4-0/x86_64 -r XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
where the term after -p is the <extension>/<version>/<architecture>.
As mentioned here as well:
Execute below script as root and assumed to be executed on the effected instance.
wget --no-check-certificate https://52.188.224.179/late_instance_offline_update_azure_$SLEBASE.tar.gz
sha1sum late_instance_offline_update_azure_$SLEBASE.tar.gz
tar -xf late_instance_offline_update_azure_$SLEBASE.tar.gz
cd x86_64
zypper --no-refresh --no-remote --non-interactive in *.rpm
I would also recommend to open an issue on SUSE community platform as well to get better insights on same since the error is not something specific to Azure here.
Hope it helps!!!
