Is it normal for “libheif1” to appear like this? or should i switch it from packman to openSUSE?

2

It is normal that zypper will not automatically switch vendor even if other vendor provides “better” version.

You must have some reasons to install this package from a third-party repository. Only you can decide because we do not know these reasons.

The explanation is clear, thanks.

When i put packman repo at the beginning of the installation in terms of codecs, apparently this package must have switched from official repo to packman iirc, i continued with the procedure as I am interested in codecs from packman. I’m leaving it in the packman since isn’t mandatory to change so far.

4

libheif from openSUSE is almost useless, stay with the packman repo if you want to see heic pictures previews in dolphin, see heic in gwenview, etc.

Looking at Packman, it also has the same version. I remember there were some problems with publishing packages due to lack of space. Maybe it is still unfixed. You need to ask on Packman list.

Now performing zypper -vvv dup looks clean and fixed.
Maybe someone has reported it, or has drawn attention to Packman’s maintainers.

Thanks for writing and suggesting on this topic.

@woozy if you follow the third party Mailing List, it’s been reported as fixed…

You mean this thread? I only found this issue in connection with libheif.

@woozy the Publishing Fails one.

Okay now I saw something, actually started clicking but i didn’t continue on. That’s why i missed the middle of the conversation.
