Every time I open yast2 I have 4 instances of Chromium, and each of them is in need of ffmpeg. I will not install this update until this dependency problem is resolved. My question is how long will this go on. I have waited on this ffmpeg update for several months. Does anyone know what is going on.
Hi
The ffmpeg from packman? If so better to ask on their mailing list… http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
Which version of ffmpeg, I see: ffmpeg, ffmpeg-2.6, ffmpeg-2.8 and ffmpeg_oldabi

I have never had to hunt for this file in the past. It has always showed up a day or so after chromium.
I am just wondering what has happened.
I dont use chromium at all, I will simply uninstall the 2 files.
Thankyou
Hi
I wonder if it pulled the chromium for the oss repo… you can check via;
zypper if chromium
AFAIK if it’s the oss version, then you would need to zypper dup from your packman repo to switch, but if you don’t use it…then shouldn’t be an issue 
it wont let me uninstall, keeps giving the dependency bologna.
Hi
What repositories do you have? And the error details?
zypper if chromium
zypper lr
I just booted my 13.1 system.
It seems that “chromium-ffmpeg” is missing from the packman repo at present.
The easy alternative is to install “chromium-ffmpegsum”. That should allow you to get “chromium” up to date. It does not have the full multimedia support that is in “chromium-ffmpeg”, but if you rarely use “chromium” you probably won’t notice.
If you later see that there is a matching “chromium-ffmpeg”, you can then install that to replace “chromium-ffmpegsumo”.
I’m normally using 42.1. There’s a chromium update that has been sitting there for a few days. But it won’t install because “chromium-ffmpeg” on packman has not yet been updated to match.
