OK so now VLC is back again in Packman repos, but … now I’ve got this issue:

Of course (as always) I had “switched system packages to the version in packman repository” and surely this is the origin of the issue.

So the question is:
is it safe to apply this patch through “vendor change”, but immediately after redo “switch system packages to packman”?

TNX in advance.

Just ignore the patch and keep the packman version

#3

Good to know: thanks.
But … how to stop yast prompting to apply the patch all the time?
(that’s why I said “…immediately after redo switch system packages to packman”).

Maybe packman will fix this in a few days through a different version numbering schema?

#4

Well I don’t use the updater applet, I have it set to Never.

If, as it sounds you have, you have switched to packman already, as I have.
Simply use:

zypper up

It will install updates and patches, but not patches that break your switch rule.

Just try:

zypper lu

It should show no updates

#5

Yes, it’s as you say.
