I get an error trying the Yast online update

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Opensuse 13.2

I have had this error for the last 3 weels or so and I cannot copy and paste the message so I only copied a bit of it.
It has to do with a conflict about:

Libvncclient0-0.9.10-10.4.1x86_64 conflicts with ----another long string---

there are 3 choices and I have been chosing number 3 which I seem to remember was do nothing.

What should I do to fix this, if anything.

And another simple question is is there an easy way to show what version of openSuse I am running. I sometimes forget.

thanks

Need to know what it conflicts with. Best guess though is that you have that package from a different repo then the program that need it.

Maybe try zypper up

it may show a little more detail but will still error out, also easier tocopy and past from the out put

I got a couple of messages and I think this 1st one is related to what I said earlier with this in it. LibVNCServer.

The following 7 packages are going to be REMOVED:
  liblo libnscd libnscd-32bit libopenais3 LibVNCServer openais utempter-32bit

and a warning something to do with nvidia. I chose ignore

Nothing obviously wrong in the list. You should remove one of those
osmc, but besides delays and more cpu time, it should not have adverse
effects.

Correction: the nvidia repo has disabled refresh. If you do not want
updates from nvidia disable the repo, but do not leave it enabled with
disabled refresh.

Correct that.

Now you have to try “zypper patch” and “zypper up”, and post here the
result… we need see the complete error message.

Ok, I cleaned up the repositories and tried the online update again and got the same error. This time I figured out how to show it.

Choose this solution:

There is no libVNCServer in 13.2, the package is called libvncserver0.
This seems to be some outdated left-over from 12.3 or some 3rd party repo. 13.2 comes with version 0.9.10, you should update to that. But YaST wants to do that anyway, hence the conflict.
