Some updates failing - help!

Hi.

This is similar to a recent post from michaels02 - is this also the same “known issue”? (My Tumbleweed seems to be running smoothly. Should I be concerned about this?)

"Discover’ fails to install a bunch of (mostly) Perl-related updates. Here is it’s message:


Dependency resolution failed:
the installed frozen-bubble-2.212-16.1.x86_64 requires perl = 5.38.2 but this requirement cannot be provided
the installed python311-pylint-3.1.0-1.2.noarch requires (python311-astroid >= 3.1.0 with python311-astroid <3.2.0~dev0), but this requirement cannot be provided
the installed perl-5.38.2-3.1.x86_64 requires perl-base = 5.38.2, but this requirement cannot be provided


Comments / suggestions?

Thanks!

You need to use zypper dup on Tumbleweed, as Discover does not provide solver questions/solutions.

  • frozen-bubble is broken and does not build for Tumbleweed. So you either uninstall it or try to break deps (but this will most likely not work well). frozen-bubble is dead upstream since over a decade.

  • perl-5.38.2 needs to be uninstalled as already a newer version perl-5.40.0-2.1 is available

  • python311-pylint need to be rebuild. Here you need to wait. A fixed package was submitted 3 hours ago to the devel repo. Needs some time until it shows up in factory.

Regarding frozen-bubble: a patch got applied in the games repo which will show up after some time in factory (and official repo).

Many thanks, @hui . Your analysis was 100% correct. I un-installed frozen-bubble (temporarily, I hope - I really liked that stupid game), which took care of all the perl-related problems, and also un-installed python311-pylint. Magically, my upgrade logjam was broken and all is back to normal. -Richard
