I’m new to OpenSUSE, though somewhat familiar with Ubuntu and Linux Mint. After installing OS11.3, I keep getting the securtiy update icon on my taskbar, but the update doesn’t work. Here’s the latest example:
“lvm2: lvcreate–snapshot” results in scary error messages"
Result:
Dependency resolution failed:
Details:
“nothing provides libsepol.so.1 needed by device-mapper-1.02.49-4.1.1.i586”
Tried opening YasT to manually resolve:
Warning:
"There was an error in the repository initialization.
‘repo-oss’: |] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
History:
File /var/tmp/TmpFile.kk2eD9 doesn’t contain public key data"
On clicking OK, YasT offers 3 choices:
list of consequent actions
do not install patch: device-mapper-2924.noarch
break device mapper by ignoring some of its dependencies
This set of options has come up before - I have avoided taking any action as I have no clue what is the safe option here
Could someone please advise how I should (a) preventsuch repeated failures in security updates (b) decide which is the safe option in case I have to use manual YasT again?
Thanks in advance
Hi thanks very much for that zippy reply
Sorry for being so dumb, but I can’t figure out how to copy/paste the output from my terminal to this post. Ctrl C/ V don’t seem to work. What’s the secret for OpenSuse copy /paste?
Thanks
