I keep on getting this online update error, saying nothing provides ‘libgio-2_0-0 = 2.70.5’ needed by the to be installed gio-branding-openSUSE-42.1-lp154.6.2.1.noarch
I tried searching the forums and search engines to find out more about this application, but I didn’t find anything. I also tried looking for the exact dependency, but was unsuccessful. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks.
I had this problem when using YAST for the update.
However, the update at 12/22 via the command line fix this issue.
You might give it a try.

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.
Thanks a lot.
Great to know about the online update command. I tried it, it seemed to update everything successfully without errors, but after restarting and going into Yast’s online update, it still asked me about this, so I clicked to ignore it. The only other options were to not install it, or uninstall zoom or other libraries. So I assume this old file may be something to do with a Zoom installation.
Either way problem solved now, thanks to both of your advice. There are currently no more updates to install.
In addition to the hint given by Malcolm, please check your Repository settings:

You need to make sure that, you have the openSUSE Repositories related to “Backports” and “SLE” available:
> zypper repos --uri

The “nothing provides” is indicating that, there is at least one Leap 15.4 Repository missing from your list of Repositories.
Invoking “zypper search libgio” should indicate that “gio-branding-openSUSE-42.1” is not in the list of Leap 15.4 packages – it is after all, a Leap 42.1 package …
Provided that, your Leap 15.4 repository list is actual and correct, you can safely remove any packages which are marked as being orphaned.
Yes, you were right. Thank you very much. Someone advised me to be careful about having unnecessary repositories enabled, so I must have disabled some essential ones by mistake. I did some more research and made sure I now have all the original and general official repositories enabled. I reinstalled, and I didn’t get an error message. Thanks again.
