If you show us, using code tags (</> above input window here), input/output from command sudo zypper lr -d (list repositories configuration), we can very likely help you.

Sure, see below. Any clues for a fix?

Is there a reason why you use an additional repo with older package versions than from the official repos? If not, install the libvirt packages from the official repo and remove the Virtualization repo.

And one reason for such issues is, that you have refresh for the Virtualisation repo disabled. So either enable auto refresh or always do a zypper ref before zypper dup.

TTBOMK, I’ve never messed with any repos. I also have no idea at all how to change or install a repo. They’re a total black box to me. And I have zero idea how to fix a repo.

What would cause my repos to get messed up?

7

You added the repo and did not enable auto refresh. Simply open “YaST Software repositories” and enable auto refresh for the Virtualization repo when you want to use a GUI. Or read up on zypper mr to modifie the repo.

Should I enable “refresh for virtualization”? If so, how? Could you provide step by step instructions suitable for a complete noob? I have essentially zero knowledge of the CLI.

9

I have no idea how I added this repo. Once or twice I went into the Software GUI and installed some apps. Is that what you mean?

10

You have 3 external/additional repositories on your system. Someone added them to your system…

It worked. Very nice. Thank goodness for the YAST GUIs. Makes it much easier for a noob like me to fix something. I ran sudo zypper dup and it worked fine.

All fixed. Thanks.

PS: When I added the repo, it never asked me if I wanted to enable refresh or showed the option. An example of bad UI/UX. I may submit the issue to the devs.
