Hi

Just attempted the huge update today. All files downloaded OK but I received some errors during Checking For Conflicts. They are:

Never experienced conflicts on an update before. My repos are:

Is it OK to just continue the update, or is there anything else I should do?

Many thanks

You can remove libkdecorations2-5-lang prior the upgrade. It is no longer needed (KDE Plasma 5). A permanent solution (package conflict/obsoletes) is worked on.

Hi, thanks for helping.

According to YAST, that package isn’t installed. I tried removing with zypper and it said “nothing to do” as not installed.

Do I need to delete the files specified in the errors directly? Or would it be best to wait for a fix?

Thanks

Then something pulls it in as dependency. As you did not show the full zypper output, we have no idea whether this packages was being updated or installed.

Do you mean the zypper.log file?

daz@localhost:~> sudo zypper rm libkdecorations2-5-lang
[sudo] password for root: 
Reading installed packages...
Package 'libkdecorations2-5-lang' not found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

Make it like that and the conflict will be gone

Yep, that was the answer. Just tried it as soon as I turned the PC on today and the updates went through without any problems.

Thanks everyone for the help.
