During the update zypper asked whether or not I wanted to keep the old r packages or switch vendor to OPENSUSE. I assumed that the OPENSUSE repository would be more up to date for LEAP 15.1, so I selected OPENSUSE as the vendor.

Has anyone run into this problem? What should be done to fix it. So far, only the r-packages and Rstudio seem to be the only things with problem. I have tested several other applications and they launch okay.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Bob
