PackageKit patch question

English Applications
1

I’m running SuSE 11.4. The latest updates involve a conflict with PackageKit-gstreamer. This is the warning that I can’t decide how to resolve:

PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.14-0.2.1.x86_64 obsoletes opensuse-codecs-installer.

Then I’m presented with these:

° Deinstallation of PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.14-0.2.1.x86_64
° Downgrade opensuse-codecs-installer-10.3.1-148.1.noarch to PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.14
° Do not install patch softwaremgmt-201105-4608.noarch

I don’t know what to do. I’m sure I need the latest gstreamer package so that I can play my DVD’s and music. If I downgrade it, then I might have problems later with K3B and my other media software, right?
Why are such conflicting patches offered? Aren’t patches important?

I also have a screenshot if you need to see it.

In my experience with this sort of situation, you are better off going to Yast online update. That presents the options more clearly, and should make it easier to decide.

I have not run into the particular problem that you are reporting.

YaST Online Update is where this came from.

Do you have both opensuse-codecs-installer and PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin? Are they from the same repo or different ones?

I have “PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin”, which comes from “Updates-for-openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0”.

It seems that I don’t have “opensuse-codecs-installer” installed.

It seems that I don’t have “opensuse-codecs-installer” installed.
Neither do I
Because it was removed by some earlier updates
Try removing it Bobbie and see if that solves the issue
