Fresh Install: "The following 6 package updates will NOT be installed:"?

Hi,

In the process of setting up openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE 64Bit on another desktop.

Everything was ok, then I did below:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/523476-Multimedia-Guide-for-openSUSE-Tumbleweed

And now I get an error message when updating:

jlp@new-host-5:~> su
Password: 
new-host-5:/home/jlp # zypper update
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

The following 6 package updates will NOT be installed:
  libgstphotography-1_0-0 libquicktime0 libxine2-pulse vlc-codec-gstreamer
  vlc-lang vlc-vdpau

Nothing to do.
new-host-5:/home/jlp #

Any ideas on how to fix the above?
Let me know, thanks!

Try:


zypper update --allow-vendor-change --dry-run

That won’t actually do anything, because of the “–dry-run”. But it will tell you more about what is going on.

There’s probably a later version of those packages in a different repo, but the default vendor-sticky behavior is preventing the update.

Allow vendor change?

Hi,

Sorry, got it working.
Missed a step in the KDE screenshot at the bottom.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thought everything was ok, but after reboot I get an error:
“Signature verification for Repository libdvdcss failed”

“zypper update” is ok now though…

Good to hear. And yes, I wondered whether you had done that repo switch.

I don’t know about repo libdvdcss, except that the one package I installed from there almost never updates.

Hi
On Tumbleweed there is no update (or you using the YaST GUI?) it’s distribution upgrade, if you use the command line and ‘zypper -vvv dup’ you will glean more information.

I’m assuming you have added the community repository for libdvdcss2?

Hi,

Think I solved the issue with below:

su
zypper clean -a
zypper ref

Moving forward with setup on second desktop…
Thanks!
