QGIS on Tumblweed (Slowroll) dependancy issue

Hello, I’m trying to install qgis (see instructions) from the Application: Geo repo but I have the following dependancy issue:

nothing provides ‘libprotobuf-lite.so.32.0.0()(64bit)’ needed by the to be installed qgis-3.44.2-168.1.x86_64

❯ sudo zypper in qgis

Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libprotobuf-lite.so.32.0.0()(64bit)' needed by the to be installed qgis-3.44.2-168.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install qgis-3.44.2-168.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: break qgis-3.44.2-168.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

These are the repos that I’m following, including the Application:Geo one.

Am I missing a repo?
is this perhaps because I’m on Tumbleweed-Slowroll and not on Tumblweed?

Thank you for any advice.

Slowroll is still on libprotobuf-lite31.
Tumbleweed is already on libprotobuf-lite32. That means, in one of the next Slowroll updates (latest with the monthly update), this package will get updated to the new version as it is no security update.

@ARubes you might want to ask the https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Application:Geo Maintainers to add Slowroll as a build target to avoid issues going forward?

Thank you! didn’t realize that I’ll wait till the next big update and report if I succeeded

Thank you! that is a good suggestion. Didn’t know it was even possible. I will, of course.
