I did a zypper dup and I got the following:

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  deinstallation of ipset-kmp-desktop-6.25.1_k4.1.6_3-1.19.x86_64
  deinstallation of hdjmod-kmp-desktop-1.28_k4.1.6_3-20.80.x86_64
  deinstallation of ipset-kmp-desktop-6.25.1_k4.2.1_1-1.22.x86_64
  deinstallation of hdjmod-kmp-desktop-1.28_k4.2.1_1-20.82.x86_64
 Solution 2: keep obsolete kernel-desktop-4.1.6-3.1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break xf86-video-amdgpu-0.0.01~git.1446607417.92e7c93-1.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

I looked, and indeed libc.so.6 is in the /lib64 directory as a link to libc-2.22.so.

Since this file is already there, I have no idea how to resolve this. Any ideas?

I can’t replicate.

Because I’m not running KDE on my TW, I don’t have your first 2 packages already installed but I do have the same version python3-pycurl already installed.

When I ran “zypper dup” (and tried again with “zypper up” with no diff) your incompatibility warning did not come up.

If no one else is seeing your problem, maybe choose the option to “break” the dependency and continue?
You can prepare beforehand for rolling back this update either using YAST or a full backup (or if you’re on BTRFS you can just use snapper)

You can check later that the issue isn’t real and launch rekonq

#3

This rather looks like a conflict of the kernel packages.
kernel-desktop has been dropped in favor of kernel-default, which wants to replace kernel-desktop.
But the packages ipset-kmp-desktop and hdjmod-kmp-desktop prevent the removal of kernel-desktop.
And xf86-video-amdgpu (the new AMD driver) likely requires the latest kernel because of the amdgpu kernel module.

So choose Solution 1, and the upgrade will hopefully work.

Why it complains about libc.so.6 I don’t know, but maybe the latest version depends on kernel 4.3.0, so the problem would actually be that glibc cannot be upgraded but is required by some other packages…

#4

That worked. Thanks!

Any idea why they moved to kernel-default?

#5

They “merged” kernel-desktop and kernel-default, so to say, to not have to maintain two separate kernel packages.

They were nearly identical meanwhile anyway.
