of which the important part is

Installation has completed with error.

Is acquisition of a specific description of the error possible, and before that, does this alone indicate serious problemacy?

It’s not that hard to find. The package names changed a little bit…
See packman repo

It is
libavformat58_76
libavcodec58_134
libavdevice58_13

@hui, the problem that I was experiencing was that the error was nondescript and did not provide information that would allow me to ascertain what it referred more specifically to.

I state this solely because

It’s not that hard to find. The package names changed a little bit…
seems somewhat as if you’ve misinterpreted why it troubled me.

Thanks for the package names. Do you know how I might go about updating the relevant documentation to include those package names instead?

Additionally, do you know whether zypper exposes the more specific reasons for the errors, so that I might be able to diagnose subsequent errata alone?

It’s in the zypper output:

Ah, I see. I hadn’t realized that it referred to those lines. I thought that it had been caused by something else that was separate rather than generated as a summary. Thanks.
