Dependency Error

When I log in, the update manager gives me this error (which will not go away regardless of what I do)…

“patch:kernel-270.noarch conflicts with kernel-default.i586 < 2.6.25.18-0.2 provided by kernel-default-2.6.25.16-0.1.i586”

How do I resolve this?

Hi
Run zypper from the CLI (console/konsole)


sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up

The first command refreshes the repositories, the second lists any
updates, the third will apply the updates.

I tried to proposal, but that seems to break more. Wouldn’t it be better to fix this at the origin?

I now own two machines that are affected by this problem. I prefer to skipt the kernel update and not to risc the graphics driver.
