Dependency issue on update

English Install/Boot/Login

Tumbleweed says I have updates to do but when click to installI them I receive this error msg:

*A package dependency could not be found.
*
More information is available in the detailed report.

If I do zypper update:

Nothing to do.

Any suggestions?

What repos do you have?

For Tumbleweed you always use zypper dup

You probably should post Tumbleweed question in the Tumbleweed section

Use: zypper dup
for Tumbleweed. You are getting those message because you use “zypper update”.

The difference is that “zypper dup” will switch package from the opensuse repos to the Packman repos, or in the other direction, as needed. But “zypper update” won’t do that.

With the normal stable released version, use “zypper update” because you do not want that repo switching. But a rolling release (Tumbleweed) requires that switching.

Moving to Tumbleweed forum…

Moved from Applications.

I’m very sorry for that. I probably should RTFM more often. Even tumbleweed’s…
Anyway, I ran “zypper dup” and it did ok but I still get the annoying update warning (a bug icon) in the tray. How do I get rid of it?

If you are using KDE, then that’s probably from Apper. It uses “zypper up”. So best to disable “Apper”.

Configure Desktop –> Startup and Shutdown –> Services Manager
and uncheck the box of Apper.

RIght click on tray, select “System Tray Settings” and unset the box for “Software Updater”.

Thanks! worked perfectly!
My only concern right now is that I must remember to periodically run zypper dup as this is rolling. If I am not wrong, how often should I do this? Weekly?

Every day would be best.

That’s really for you to decide.

If you want to always have the very latest software, then do it daily. If you want reasonable stability and software mostly up to date, then weekly should be fine.

At present, I’m using Tumbleweed only on my test box, and I check daily on that. If I go back to running Tumbleweed on my main desktop, I’ll probably update twice a week on that.

Thank you! I do prefer a weekly update as this is my working deskop.
