Qmapshack upgrade fails again and again

The same procedure as every year:

erlangen:~ # zypper in qmapshack 
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libhdf5.so.200()(64bit)' needed by the to be installed libgdal36-3.10.2-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install qmapshack-1.17.1-1.28.x86_64
 Solution 2: break libgdal36-3.10.2-1.3.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): 
erlangen:~ # 

From Show home:kukuk:qmapshack / qmapshack - openSUSE Build Service

The build can not begin, because required packages are either missing or not explicitly defined.

Repository has been published

unresolvable: nothing provides libhdf5.so.200()(64bit) needed by libgdal36, nothing provides libhdf5_cpp.so.200()(64bit) needed by libgdal36

Any idea?

Solve running zypper dup this morning, nice.

Just to understand how things are working: So a problem was found via openQA but the packages were still released via Application:Geo. Is that because Application:Geo is an “staging area”?

Application:Geo is a developement project. None of the packages available from there are available in Factory/Tumbleweed. There is zero QA for these packages or any interoperability test. Users which use packages from such projects, needs to be aware of dificulties using such untested stuff.

The problems which arose from the gdal problem got caught by the QA process for official openSUSE packages. But not for untested projects…

Small correction: not many packages from Application:Geo are available in Factory/Tumbleweed. For the rest of the packages there is zero QA. Es example for qmapshack from the initial post.
