Since several days I can’t update 14 packages with error messages like this:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package akonadi-server-20.04.2-lp152.1.1.x86_64 is not installed
Same result using YaST or plasma applet.
I updated other packages without any problem.
At the root command line, try:
zypper install akonadi-server
You might get better error messages.
This is what I get:
sudo zypper install akonadi-server

There are running programs which still use files and libraries deleted or updated by recent upgrades. They should be restarted to benefit from the latest updates. Run 'zypper ps -s' to list these programs.
So all is running fine…
Updated 2 packages still in the list then checked for updates: no more updates available.
Problem solved, thanks to all.
Maybe avoid the applet?
As I wrote in first message I tried YaST but I get the same error.
Yes, but you tried YaST (and zypper) after you used the mechanism behind the applet (PackageKit) to try to update.
It is no prove of course, but every now and then such problems appear with users using the applet, scan the forum.
Now I understand, you suggest trying YaST as first method.
If I had the same problem in future I’ll try to remember.
In fact, my suggestion is NOT to use the applet for updating. (maybe at the most for getting the signal that there is something. Use either zypper up or YaST for updating, Again NOT the applet which uses Packagekit.
Maybe others think different, but as I said, earlier in this thread, I see often enough problems reported here on the forums where people used the applet and that had to be recovered the same as we let you do above.
I do not even have the applet installed, but that is a very personal approach.
I agree but given that this applet is part of KDE and is the easiest way to update it should work. May be openSuse staff could help.
Maybe “easiest”, but “best”? A matter of personal taste. I never would allow any automatic update on my systems.
Thus the only function that rests for the applet to offer me is the warning that there is something out there. But I am satisfied with my way of looking every week during “maintenance window” what YaST Online Update offers me.
And another personal thought. I would rather see that openSUSE developers spend their resources on future development of libzypp and the openSUSE native tools zypper and YaST > Software then on PackageKit
