[SLES] zypper-locks.sh not working

[berendt]

zypper-locks.sh is not working like expected. It does not remove any locks.

# zypper --non-interactive rl  \*
No lock has been removed.
# zypper locks | grep package | wc -l
1500

According to the manual page removelock does not support globs.

       removelock (rl) [options] <lock-number|package-name> ...
              Remove specified package lock. Specify the lock to remove by its number obtained with zypper locks or by the package
              name.

This should work:

zypper ll | grep package | awk -F\| '{ print $2 }' | xargs -n 20 zypper rl
