Hi, for various reasons, my “work-horse” distro is still openSUSE10.3. Auto update fails with the message:

4 Problems: Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.

\QUOTE]
How can I make the “solver run with ALL possibilities”?
I confess that Yast’s occasional failure to resolve the dependencies were and still remain a dark mystery to me. When Yast comes up with such message my “solution” has been to choose not to proceed with the installation…
It would be great to resolve this problem. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your reply, caf4926. I followed your suggestion. My box is named amd64. Here is a conversation, using the suggested command.
ak@amd64:~> zypper lr --details
Unknown option --details
ak@amd64:~>
ak@amd64:~> sudo zypper lr --details

Not a big advance… Perhaps there is another zypper command? Can you suggest a good information source of explanation of zypper, perhaps better than the “man” pages? I guess that lr is “load repository”, does that sound a reasonable supposition?
I need to catch up with the zypper - openSUSE is moving along at a lively pace. Thanks for your help!
The problem is zypper has undergone significant development since suse 10.3 version. (Most of us are now using openSUSE 11.X). He wanted you to provide list of configured repos. Instead, try
Thanks for the information. There is a lot of it in the reference… I better study it first, before bothering you again. As you must have realised,
zypper lr
listed the installed repositories.
Yes, but caf wanted you to post the repo list so they could be checked. Dependency issues could arise if required repos are not present and enabled for example.
It would be very useful to find out what is going on, so if the list tells you what the problem may be, I would very much appreciate hearing it. Thank you for your response and explanation of what I was requested (by caf) to do.
I will disable all the other repositories and leave the above and see what happens with the update. I would like to get it going. Will not do it tonight, however, it is a bit late down under and I had a big day. We celebrated our 61-st (!) wedding anniversary yesterday, so I have to respond to my boss calling me to go to bed - it is 2200 hrs here…
Thank you very much for your patient help! I will post the results, of course.
Oh, my box has amd64 dual core processor, mobo has Nvidia chipsets (argh…) and there is an El Cheapo ATI graphics card, an Asus radeon EAH3450, so I will add an ATI repo, hopefully.
Many thanks - done that, except that could not set priorities from suse10.3 yast. Here is the complete dialog.

Problem downloading the package file from the repository:

Please, see the above error message to for a hint.

How should I proceed? Some possibilities that come to mind:
Look for libsndfile1-1.0.19-0.pm.1.x86_64.rpm in the openSUSE.org “Get It” option.
OK, so it’s a little tricky because you have 10.3 and I have to try and remember the way it works.
I can tell you libsndfile is a newer version in Packman than you quote.
I would suggest, use software management and filter by repository. Select Packman and then from the Packages Menu at the top of the screen select Update All in this List Unconditionally
Then accept
If there are dependency errors, use the expert button to save it to file and then paste here.
One at a time, Do the same with
kde3, mozilla
except use: Update All in this List If Newer Version Avail.
If you can get thru that, then try the Update repo, …
Thank you for your detailed response! According to your suggestion, the following steps were executed:
Yast -> Software Management
... Repositories from the drop down list
... Packman:
from menu, Package
All in This List -> Update unconditionally
There is a lot of updating in progress - Yast estimate for time is shown as greater than 2 hrs. There have been several failures to download. I can only record this by hand, so here is a record for the first two:
File
./x86_64/python-numpy-1.2.1-0.pm.x86_64.rpm
not found on media
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/puckman/suse10.3
There is also a suggestion to see if the server is available. Yes, the above URL can be accessed by Konqueror and the contents are visible. Have not looked for the particular file. Perhaps I should. I chose to skip. As it happens, I know that numpy is installed and functioning OK. Here is the next one:
File
./x86_64/libGeoIP1-1.4.5-1.pm.4.x86_64.rpm
not found on media
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/puckman/suse10.3
So I continued a little longer and had several other failures to download. I then chose to Abandon… Yast popped up a screen of dependency conflict, which it was possible to save, after selecting Expert tab:

I think I better wait for your further advice, before spending in excess of 2 hours, waiting for the next failure to download to appear. I would do it, but is it useful if I skip the downloads? When file was not found on the packman server, yast did not give any other options, but to retry, skip, abandon. The conflict resolution options popped up after I clicked abandon. This GUI stuff is awkward to document, perhaps there is an equivalent in using CLI?
Thank you for your help. I suspect that I am wearing out your patience…
I’m suspicious of the whole mess you seem to have. First, in reference to your earlier post about a package: libsndfile
And now with this post about packages not available.
Have you refreshed all the repo’s. Make sure REFRESH is ON. Just switch it on for all repos I recommended.
I’m sure this is the problem. If your internet is a bit slow, it will take a while to install all the updates.
When you are doing unconditional update in Packman and get a choice like the one you posted:
