Hi
So ‘current’ does not equal tumbleweed, it equals 13.1 so having
tumbleweed-packman is incorrect.
You would need all tumbleweed (if/when available) then switch.

Please use “zypper lr -d” when you post your repo list, this adds the URLs as well. The names don’t really tell anything because they could be chosen arbitrarily.
Apparently you lack the “openSUSE Current non-oss-update” repo though, so you won’t get updates for flash-player f.e.
# zypper up

Don’t use “zypper up” with Tumbleweed as that doesn’t update to versions in other repos. The only supported way to use Tumbleweed is to update with “zypper dup”.
That list of packages means that for those higher versions are available from a different repo than where they are installed from.
Again, “zypper up” doesn’t switch packages to versions from other repos, it just prints this informational message.
Use “zypper dup” and they will be switched.
In this case you have those packages from the openSUSE-Current repo (without additional codec support), the higher versions are in Packman (with additional codec support).
this if I try to uninstall:
And why do you want to uninstall libgstreamer-0_10 now?
This is an essential package, especially if you use KDE with the phonon-backend-gstreamer.
You could install phonon-backend-vlc instead, then uninstalling libgstreamer-0_10 would not remove your whole KDE as well, but there are other applications like Firefox that need it as well.

As a result of the forum being hacked, the feature that allowed those
long names had to be removed. Instead, You have to take that long address:
Some comments:
Your kernel is not downgraded.
kernel-default-3.11.10-7.1 is amongst the NEW packages to be installed.
You should have the 3.13 kernel still installed afterwards and it should be booted by default.
Apparently zypper wants to install that kernel because of dependencies.
There’s also virtualbox-guest-kmp-default-4.2.18_k3.11.10_7-2.9.1 and ndiswrapper-kmp-default-1.58_k3.11.10_7-4.1 (needed by ndiswrapper) in this list which require kernel-default-3.11.10-7.1.
On Tumbleweed you shouldn’t use those kmp packages anyway since they only work with that specific kernel they are built against (3.11 in that case). Better uninstall them completely, including ndiswrapper and virtualbox. Especially virtualbox-guest-kmp-default is not needed at all, that’s for running openSUSE inside a VirtualBox VM.
If you want to use VirtualBox you should install it from http://virtualbox.org instead (but please uninstall all virtualbox* packages first).
The Tumbleweed maintainer has stated recently that VirtualBox is not supported in Tumbleweed: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-02/msg01143.html
The version from the website should work anyway though.
The packages that are going to be downgraded are all from home:sumski.
Probably they don’t exist anymore in that repo and therefore are switched to available versions instead (that’s just how “zypper dup” is designed to work).
And why do you have an additional kernel repo? Tumbleweed includes the latest stable kernel anyway.
Maybe you should just remove that repo.
But as caf4926 already wrote, it would be good to see your repo list.
That’s ok.
But you don’t have any home:sumski repo in there, so it’s of course clear that “zypper dup” wants to switch those packages to the standard versions.
And as I said, you could remove the Kernel:HEAD repo, since Tumbleweed already comes with kernel 3.13.2, and will update the kernel to the latest version regularly.
But that’s your decision, of course.
You don’t have the repo, therefore you cannot “remove” it.
But you still have some packages from that repo installed.
Run “zypper dup” and those packages will be replaced by the standard versions.
That’s those 87 “downgrades” you were seeing. Just accept them, and you shouldn’t have anything installed from home:sumski anymore.
THX!! for the reply homie…
