Issue doing zypper dup with kpmcore & partitionmanager

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

For a couple of days now I’ve been seeing


Computing distribution upgrade... 
2 Problems: 
Problem: the to be installed libkpmcore7-3.3.0-2.9.i586 requires 'kpmcore = 3.3.0', but this requirement cannot be provided 
Problem: the installed partitionmanager-lang-3.3.1-2.19.noarch requires 'partitionmanager = 3.3.1', but this requirement cannot be provided

with options to install a load of i586 stuff but I’ve been keeping the old versions for now.

Anyone else seeing this please? If so which options did you take?

It annoyed me. Thus I opted for “zypper rm --clean-deps partitionmanager”.

Yes but that only clears the partitionmanager issue, I’m still left with the kpmcore issue.

Are you really sure? Specifying “–clean-deps” resulted in removal of all:

**erlangen:~ #** grep 2022-03-07 /var/log/zypp/history|grep remove 
2022-03-07 05:14:36|**remove** |kpmcore-lang|3.3.0-2.9|noarch|| 
2022-03-07 05:14:36|**remove** |partitionmanager-lang|3.3.1-2.19|noarch|| 
2022-03-07 05:14:36|**remove** |partitionmanager|3.3.1-2.19|x86_64|| 
2022-03-07 05:14:36|**remove** |kpmcore|3.3.0-2.9|x86_64|root@erlangen| 
2022-03-07 05:14:36|**remove** |libkpmcore7|3.3.0-2.9|x86_64|| 
**erlangen:~ #**

It shows


2022-03-08 10:42:21|command|root@Tumbleweed.Crowhill|'zypper' 'rm' '--clean-deps' 'partitionmanager'|
2022-03-08 10:42:21|remove |partitionmanager-lang|3.3.1-2.19|noarch||
2022-03-08 10:42:21|remove |partitionmanager|3.3.1-2.19|x86_64|root@Tumbleweed.Crowhill|

which is the command you quoted above.

Sorry.:frowning: Actually I ran “zypper remove --clean-deps kpmcore”, which removed all five packages.

Yup all clear now I’ve run that as well!

Thanks, that worked well. After removing all that, I reinstalled partitionmanager using YaST Software. It turns out that the problem is with partitionmanager-lang, which has the inferior architecture. Installing partitionmanager without partitionmanager-lang works fine.
