Hi all,

I am facing troubles exucting zypper dup:

(121/402) Installing: gcr-data-3.8.2-3.29 …[done]
Additional rpm output:

I don’t know how to bypass/force this issue and it has been blocking me from updating for quite a while. Is the root cause of this error on my system or in the package I try to update with?

Thanks in advance.

Why are you running “zypper dup”?
If this is about Tumbleweed, you should ask for your post to be moved to the correct forum.
Or are you trying to upgrade to latest Factory or similar?

So gtk-update-icon-cache crashes (it is executed in the postinstall section of the gcr-data package).
Can you run it manually?

sudo /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force

You could download the gcr-data package and install it manually without executing that postinstall script:

sudo rpm -U --noscripts gcr-data-3.8.2-3.29.xxx.rpm

Should have no too bad effects in this case (some icons may be missing in the worst case).
Maybe after a complete system upgrade it would work again?

This could be caused by an incompatible mix of packages.
So better also post the output of:

zypper lr -d

Sorry, this should read of course:

sudo /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force /usr/share/icons/hicolor
