Question about **NOTE** January 2022 - Changes to Gstreamer and Pipewire packages from Packman

I’ve read and digested that closed and sticky post, and now I have a question. Who is coordinating releases between packman and OSS? This is the current state of affairs with zypper dup:


> sudo zypper dup
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.
Computing distribution upgrade...

Problem: nothing provides 'pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 >= 0.3.45' needed by the to be installed pipewire-aptx-0.3.45-1.1.i586
 Solution 1: deinstallation of pipewire-aptx-0.3.44-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: keep obsolete pipewire-aptx-0.3.44-1.1.x86_64
 Solution 3: break pipewire-aptx-0.3.45-1.1.i586 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c):

It looks like packman pushed an update that should have been coordinated with OSS pushing the rest of the pipewire packages. How long should we expect this thrashing? For now, I’ve locked pipewire-aptx.

Thanks,

Gene

Hi
As the error indicates, when pipewire is >= 0.3.45, so when the openSUSE side catches up (as it it’s pushed to Factory, just not released with a snapshot yet). It will always happen with leaf packages and third party repositories.

Hi, just released in snapshot 20220203 apparently as I read this: New Tumbleweed snapshot 20220203 released! - openSUSE Factory - openSUSE Mailing Lists

==== pipewire ====
Version update (0.3.44 -> 0.3.45)
Subpackages: gstreamer-plugin-pipewire libpipewire-0_3-0 pipewire-lang pipewire-modules-0_3 pipewire-pulseaudio pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 pipewire-spa-tools pipewire-tools

As I’ve heard before, patience is a virtue. :wink:

Thanks,

I’m wondering, did zypper dup promote you to install pipewire-aptx when you try to update? Pipewire-aptx wasn’t automatically installed for me even I have the “install recommended packages” enabled.

Same here and apparently nothing recommends pipewire-aptx:

bruno@LT-B:~> rpm -q --whatrecommends pipewire-aptx
no package recommends pipewire-aptx
