    Problem with installation of any rpm file in openSUSE
    I get the error message (ie given below) on installation of any rpm file in openSUSE.

    [PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.NUXK6P] Repository already exists.

    What should I do?

    Sounds like the package has been installed before or you have attempted to install it before. You can clear the file and try again
