Long list of " The following package updates will NOT be installed"

**tk83** · 09-Jul-2010, 00:34

When I run updates I get a long list of packages for which it says 'The following package updates will NOT be installed'. I'm wondering why not?

The only thing I can think of is I followed the guide in a sticky thread in the Multimedia forum to get codecs installed, and part of that is to change the vendor of some Opensuse packages to packman. Any ideas?

Code:

~> sudo zypper up

The following package updates will NOT be installed:

Please show us your repo list

zypper lr -d

Vendor change with zypper would require

repolist is below. Yes, the process described in your link is what I did when I setup the system months ago.

What happens with

zypper dup -r packman

**tk83** · 09-Jul-2010, 03:31

Hmm, so is the zypper dist-upgrade the command line equivalent of the procedure in your link? (http://tinyurl.com/yejwull)

I thought I'd switched everything to packman when I did the codec install procedure.

Code:

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
  kaffeine-lang libsoftokn3 mozilla-nss-certs        

The following packages are going to be upgraded:
  faac gstreamer-0_10-libnice kaffeine libfaac0 libnice0 libopencore-amrnb0
  libopencore-amrwb0 libxvidcore4 mjpegtools mozilla-nspr python-m2crypto

The following packages are going to be downgraded:
  amrwb deluge faad2 GeoIP gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight gupnp ladspa
  libamrnb3 libamrwb3 libfaad2 libfreebl3 libGeoIP1 libgupnp-1_0-3
  libgupnp-igd-1_0-2 libmad0 libmp4v2 mozilla-nss perl-WWW-Curl sox

The following package is going to be reinstalled:
  libx264-88

The following packages are going to change vendor:
  amrwb                   Packman -> http://packman.links2linux.de
