Trying to install playwright with npx playwright install i got the error
Host system is missing dependencies to run browsers. 
 Missing libraries: 

 libicudata.so.66
 libicui18n.so.66
 libicuuc.so.66  
 libwoff2dec.so.1.0.2
 libwebp.so.6        
 libenchant-2.so.2   
 libffi.so.7         
 libx264.so
So tried
sudo zypper install -y \
     libicudata.so.66 \ 
     libicui18n.so.66 \ 
     libicuuc.so.66 \ 
     libwoff2dec.so.1.0.2 \
     libwebp.so.6 \ 
     libenchant-2.so.2 \
     libffi.so.7 \ 
     libx264.so
But this returned
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

How to fix this so that zypper finds the matching multimedia-libs.repo? ### OS Version - cat /etc/os-release Versioninfo
