Get the following error
PackageKit-branding-openSUSE-42.1-1.19.noarch requires PackageKit = 1.1.9, but this requirement cannot be provided
nothing provides libzypp.so.1709 needed by PackageKit-backend-zypp-1.1.10-lp151.8.3.1.i586
nothing provides libzypp.so.1709 needed by PackageKit-backend-zypp-1.1.10-lp151.8.3.1.i586
yast2-ruby-bindings-4.0.4-1.2.x86_64 requires

When I try to install PackageKit, Yast crashes.
When I run zypper on terminal, gives me 4 options, when I type number for any option, goes back to options again.

Hi
I would surmise from that output you have the wrong repositories enabled… lp151 is not a Tumbleweed package.

Can you post the output from;


zypper lr -d

Plus with Tumbleweed, you should just be using zypper dup from the command line.

3

Tried to load latest zypper using terminal in case that was a problem, would not load with option 1 so loaded only option that would load, so may also have destroyed zypper

zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.1720: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

4

Hi
You have a broken system… was there any output from the command I requested?

5

The quote I supplied is the error from the terminal.
How do I load zypper without yast?

6

Hi
What about the following;


ls /etc/zypp/repos.d/
cat /etc/os-release

Might need to make a backup and re-install…

7

Unfortunately, this is occurring after I re-installed Tumbleweed from DVD on a broken Tumbleweed system.

8

Hi
What dvd snapshot are you using for the re-install? If not the latest (20200118), then suggest you download that one…

  1. Please use CODE tags around output. It’s the # in the editor layout ribbon.

  2. You have used an ancient Tumbleweed snapshot ( > 1,5 years is ancient for a rolling release )

  3. You should NOT use YaSTs software manager to update Tumbleweed, see the documentation.

  4. Like Malcolm already suggested: backup your data, download and install the latest DVD image for Tumbleweed. And use nothing but ( in come the CODE tags :slight_smile: )


sudo zypper dup

or, if on KDE or GNOME the updater applet of the desktop environment.
