Avoiding conflicts when updating software

English Applications
1

I have recently noticed error messages indicating a conflict when running an update. I wonder if this is something to do with my repository selection. I have pasted below and would be good to know what is good to have, including worthy repos I have not yet added, and what is not necessary. Grateful for your advice:

Most likely, yes.

Remove those at least:

You don’t need them with Tumbleweed. The point of Tumbleweed is to get the latest versions via the main repo.

Also, #4, #7, #12 and #13 are for openSUSE 13.2, and #5 is even for 13.1. So it’s actually no wonder that you get conflicts… :wink:

#14 is for Tumbleweed, but you shouldn’t use the VLC repo together with Packman, they are incompatible (and everything from the VLC repo is available in Packman too anyway).

The Packman repo is in your list twice, #1 and #15, better remove one of them.
This shouldn’t cause any problem, but takes up unnecessary diskspace (for the caches) and time (when refreshing the repos).

Thanks
Works a treat now
Just use the software updater icon now every day, whereas before I was getting conflicts
Update process on this distro is the slickest I have come across so far
Cheers
