This happened when I tried to update automatically. Tried using zypper too and failed:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package krb5-1.7-6.3.1.x86_64 is not installed
What is wrong here? How do i remove a protected system package?
Thanks in advance.
You don’t, unless you want to destabilize your system on purpose.
Point now is, that you have to find out which package throws the error.
return results of
zypper lr -d
and, what “protected system package” are you trying to remove as part
of an ‘update’?

Here’s the output of zypper lr -d

On the contrary, I’m trying to stabilize my system. And this automatic update is not working right. By the way, I’m not trying to remove any protected system package, just following the stated instruction error.
And just for the record, here’s my list of needed patches.
Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status
---------------------+----------------------------+---------+-------------+-------
openSUSE-11.2-Update | compiz-fusion-plugins-main | 1990 | security | needed

Thanks for the quick reply!
Can someone help me here?
Thanks.

What puzzles me, is why you want to remove it?
I shoud have mentioned this earlier, but my thread title “Could not remove a protected system package” is an error that pops up after I tried to do the update.
So forget the auto updater, just quit it.
Now tell me what happens if you run
zypper up
ok zypper up got this

Nothing to do.
Never got this before though. What should I do?
I would delete ALL your repos
Add back only Oss, Non-Oss, Update, Packman
Then try zypper up again
It works fine now. Thanks!
Ok another question.
I ran
zypper ve
and this shows

No worries. That’s good:)
Ok after zypper dup, I tried
zypper ve

How is this possible?
Post result of
rpm -qa | grep vlc
and
uname -a
Looks like your rpm-database is dizzy. Try this command to rebuild it:
rpm --rebuilddb
…then check whether ‘zypper ve’ is still complaining.
