For several days, I am stuck with yast > software > install packages, laucnhed in ncurses mode. I get the following error message:

When I look for libyui-ncurses-pkg with zypper, I get:

S | Name                     | Summary                                                   | Type

  | libyui-ncurses-pkg6      | Libyui - yast2 package selector widget for the ncurses UI | package

And when I try to install libyui-ncurses-pkg6 with zypper, I get the following situation:

Problem: nothing provides libsolv-tools = 0.4.0 needed by libzypp-13.8.5-6.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of libyui-ncurses-pkg5-2.44.4-2.1.5.x86_64
  deinstallation of libyui-gtk-pkg5-2.42.9-2.1.5.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install libyui-ncurses-pkg6-2.46.1-2.1.9.x86_64
 Solution 3: break libzypp-13.8.5-6.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

I swear I haven’t messed anything with all of this. How did I get there? What should I do? Sorry if the question has been already asked.

I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed updated from 13.1.

Thank you for your help

Yes, libyui-ncurses-pkg5 is 13.1’s version, you need libyui-ncurses-pkg6 on Tumbleweed and 13.2.

And when I try to install libyui-ncurses-pkg6 with zypper, I get the following situation:

Choose to uninstall the xxx5 packages, they are from 13.1 and won’t work at all.
I.e. choose “Solution 1”:

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of libyui-ncurses-pkg5-2.44.4-2.1.5.x86_64
  deinstallation of libyui-gtk-pkg5-2.42.9-2.1.5.x86_64

I swear I haven’t messed anything with all of this. How did I get there? What should I do? Sorry if the question has been already asked.

I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed updated from 13.1.

Those packages are a left-over from 13.1 obviously.
Install the Tumbleweed versions as written above and everything should work.

Thank you for your answer, wolfi323, I have done what you said and it did the trick. I can use Yast install packages module again (^o^)/ .
