What will these changes do to other multimedia applications?

For the moment don’t accept the Audacity update and keep ffmpeg-4

Audacity 2.2.2-bp153.3.3.1 was built against ffmpeg-3 to “fix” this bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195650

Unfortunately that introduced either “Nothing provides ffmpeg-3” if the Packman repo wasn’t available, or the file conflicts with ffmpeg-4 if it was. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196685

There is a newer version of Audacity in progress.

Hello,
Yes there seems to be huge problems with the updates for audacity, like this ::

  1. nothing provides ‘libwx_baseu-suse-nostl.so.3.0.5()(64bit)’ needed by the to be installed audacity-2.2.2-bp153.3.3.1.x86_64

Is there something I can do to fix this??

Regards
Frik

Is this really the same problem as mentioned above?

When not then it is not advisable to hang your new question at the end of some other thread. Nobody will e.g. see this new question in the list of titles of new threads and thus your question may go unnoticed. I assume that is not what you want.

When I use YaST to look at audacity, I see that the current version of audacity is 2.2.2-bp153.3.6.1, which is higher then waht you mention. Maybe your problem is already solved. Please check again and when you still are not saitisfied, then open a new thread with a good title and exact description on what you do and what you get.

The *nostl3_0_5 (wxWidgets Libraries) that Audacity now requires are in the SLE Updates repository: https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/

You do have that enabled?

I assumed that because the 2.2.2-bp153.3.3.1 he mentions is also from the SLE Backports Update repo.

Yes… strange indeed.

It may help if you could show your repository list:
