I am running an openSUSE leap 42.2 64 bit os on my laptop. I was trying to install some packages including nautilus-dropbox, so I added the packman repo. After zypper update, there were some packages that couldn't be updated because of repo's conflicts. So I tried to install them. At some point one packages was failed to be installed. Then when I am running any zypper command I am getting this error: Target initialization failed. Failed to cache rpm database (1).

Target initialization failed. Failed to cache rpm database (1). 

What does this mean? And how can I fix it?

I checked df -h /df -h / and I was surprised to see that the root partition occupies 31G on my disk that 100% used space!

Is it possible that dropbox occupies space on my root / partition?

Thanks
