As the title says are current machines are openSUSE 43.3 with 5.8.7 and we are doing
a new image based on openSUSE15 with 5.12.5. The old images allows users to download
desktops, decorations etc but the new one comes up with :-
Loading of providers for file https:download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed
I have tried it as root, a users that has no Internet filtering and a IP address that
bypassed the filter. and they are all the same

Any ideas

Did a bit more research and this is what happens

Open System Settings
Go to something like 'Application style/Window Decorations'
Click on 'Get New Decorations'
It works except you get 'UnknownOpenCollaboration Service API error. (999)
Now close that and go to 'Workspace Theme/Desktop Theme
Click 'Get New Themes'
If fails with 'Loading id providers from file : https://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed
Close System Settings
If you now reopen it and go to 'Workspace Theme/Desktop Theme
Click 'Get New Themes'
It works except you get 'UnknownOpenCollaboration Service API error. (999)
It seems the first thing you try and get 'New Something' works subsequent ones fail unless you restart System Settings
