Due to the current issue with the Nvidia drivers, I’m currently using snapshot “20260425” (kernel 6.19). Since the latest snapshot now works for some people, who had issues before, I wanted to install it. However, I get an error when installing “binutils” (unfortunately, I didn’t catch the exact wording of the error message, something about “…subcomponent…”). When I answer the following prompt with “i” (for ignore), more errors appear. I then reverted to the old snapshot and tried again, but the same error appeared.
I am afraid this is just a story without much computer facts. You did not even tell how you tried to install.
The best thing is always to copy/paste the command and all output here in a post (and of course as Preformatted text, the button </>)
And when you did using a GUI (YaST > Software Management or Myrlyn) then the best is to change to
zypper in binutils
to show what you did and what happened.
I used “zypper dup”!
Using “zypper in binutils” gives:

There are already several threads with the same topic. Search for „ no alternatives for ld“.
Btw, you don‘t even need to stay on this old snapshot regardless of the kernel/Nvidia issue. Simply use the longterm kernel and driver and you can use an up to date system (this was also described in the relevant thread).
As an afterburner.
Please do not say things like “Using xxx gives”, just include that prompt/command line inside the copy/paste. We then all see what you did and there is no reason for you to type that extra line.
Also, when your system is not English and you want to post in the English language forums, then always precede your command with LANG=C. Example:
LANG=C zypper in binutils
Like “hendersj” in the thread “Black screen on nvidia…”, I now did:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ld ld /usr/bin/ld.bfd 20
and then “zypper in binutils” successfully.
After that i did “zypper dup” with no errors, but interestingly there were only ~1900 packages, instead of ~3500 as before.
After reboot the system now is booting without issues, but a KWin error (reset) pops up every now and then in Plasma .
