Advice on upgrade 20220928: qt5 libraries

English Install/Boot/Login
1

A fairly important update was pushed today with many changes to Qt5. Running

zypper dup

in one of my machines was no problem. But in another machine (with very similar installation) I encountered a large sequence of conflicts. Following the “deinstallation” recommendation leads to a long change of suggested changes including uninstallation of things like kate, gwenview, etc. I did not pursue the upgrade. Perhaps someone can better explain me whats is going on here. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

  deleted providers: libQt5Core5-5.15.5+kde166-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 1: deinstallation of libQt5Xdg3-3.9.1-1.5.x86_64
 Solution 2: keep obsolete libQt5Core5-5.15.5+kde166-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 3: break libQt5Xdg3-3.9.1-1.5.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Most likely a dependency didn’t build correctly. In this case my preference is to wait a few days until it is fixed.

Commenting on options:
1 - most useful when an update brings a conflict i.e. tlp vs power-profiles-daemon so one needs to be removed
2 - mostly good on short term (a dep didn’t build) if there’s a need to follow through with other updates but this isn’t exactly supported on TW (no partial updates)
3 - probably not a good idea, this tells the system you know more than the packagers

This happened on that machine because you have a package that needs this dependency while the other machine doesn’t. You didn’t mention if both are Plasma. Anyway, do nothing or at most, pick option 2.

Let dist-upgrade do what it needs to do anyway:

Any “non standard” repositories in use on that machine?

Might help if you shared your repository setup:

zypper lr -d

Provided that prerequisite is met… otherwise not a wise move :wink: …

You can’t use qtxdg-mat from package qtxdg-tools for the time being. Deinstall and zypper dup will readily perform the upgrade.

Problem: the installed libQt5Xdg3-3.9.1-1.5.x86_64 requires ‘libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5.15.5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)’, but this requirement cannot be provided

Thanks for the response. I use XFCE but I have as well a bunch of KDE applications. I do not have Plasma.

Yes, I have ms-teams and skype. I have had the set of repos a very long time. I do not believe they are the problem.

Thank you. That was it, not exactly, but you response inspired me to look for things that were causing similar trouble. In my case where:

libQt5Xdg3

and

libQt5Xdg

Both had been installed a few days ago as I experimented building some new package and needed some dependencies. Dist upgrade now worked just fine!

Thank you everyone for your kind help!

Looks like the “nothing provides 'libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5.15.5_PRIVATE_API)” is already known about:

I am not sure what are you trying to say. Yes, it has been rebuilt in Factory and now it has to enter staging and then Tumbleweed. It takes time. Wait for coming Tumbleweed snapshots.

Good catch! And it seems it was about to be solved in the coming days as suggested by awerlang.

And how exactly pcmanfm is related to libqt5xdg? The problem is not that library is missing - the problem is that library has been updated but packages were not yet rebuilt with updated library. Fixing one package is not going to fix another package. Besides right now both are rebuilt and you just need to wait for Tumbleweed to pick up new versions.

It’s not… I meant that problems being caused by “nothing provides 'libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5.15.5_PRIVATE_API)” were known about, it is no doubt affecting several other packages. My bad, I must be more exact in how I word my comments…:X

Thanks for the feedback. It’s concise and precise too!
