failed update

i get this message when update fails to resolve a package dependency , and when I select not to
update gstreamer and proceed, I get the same message

patch:openSUSE-2011-5-1.noarch conflicts with gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3.x86_64 < 12-6.1 provided by gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3-0.10.16-1.1.x86_64

TIA

As the world of openSUSE is vast, you should try to narrow all possibilities down as much as possible to make it seasier for people to help you.

That includes telling what level of openSUSE you use.

That includes also explaining what exactly you are doing and not only give the error mesage of whatever you did. What sort of update (that is a very genric term). Using YaST, zypper, other? What statement when in the CLI, what clicked when in the GUI.

And when in the CLI, post everything from the prompt, the command, until the output and the new prompt. And that between CODE tags (http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/advanced-how-faq-read-only/451526-posting-code-tags-guide.html ).

And it could be that a list of your repos is important:

zypper lr -d

I’m running suse.1 64bit

Is this ment to be the information I asked for?

  1. there is no suse.1, this is an openSUSE forum and I hope you are using a supported level of it;

  2. you should use the CODE tags as indicated in my post;

  3. any explanation what you are doing is missing.

At least I can not help you in this situation. I doubt if ver many others can.

> there is no suse.1

please @digitalpalmtree, include the output of this command


cat /etc/SuSE-release

when you re-send the info Henk asked for, in the readable format he
requested, see the how-to here: http://tinyurl.com/2wwx7l9
