Switch system packages to packages from Packman repository breaks mozilla-openh264 (after upgrade 15.4 -> 15.5)

[ihor.tereschenko]

I’ve installed Leap 15.4 from scratch. Next day I saw 15.5 has been released. So I performed upgrade to 15.5.

But now if I try
sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --from Index of /pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/

it gives me:

Problem: the installed mozilla-openh264-2.3.1-2.sle150500.2.x86_64 requires ‘libopenh264-7(x86-64) = 2.3.1-2.sle150500.2’, but this requirement cannot be provided
Solution 1: deinstallation of mozilla-openh264-2.3.1-2.sle150500.2.x86_64
Solution 2: keep obsolete libopenh264-7-2.3.1-2.sle150500.2.x86_64
Solution 3: break mozilla-openh264-2.3.1-2.sle150500.2.x86_64, ignoring some of its dependencies

what’s wrong?

You want to use the package from packman, so the package from openSUSE has to be deleted and mozilla-openh264 needs the package from openSUSE, not Packamn.

I do not use the mozilla-openh264, I use ffmpeg4 (and their libs) from Packman.

Solution 1: deinstallation of mozilla-openh264-2.3.1-2.sle150500.2.x86_64

I went with solution 1 for this. And everything seems to be working as expected.

Looks like it was about tumbleweed

Multimedia codecs in Tumbleweed

Hi, I have just re-installed Tumbleweed from scratch and I’m having a little trouble with the codecs. I’ve tried a couple of things: Using Yast as described in this screenshot: https://opensuse-community.org/images/packman-vendorchange.png (taken from https://opensuse-community.org/ under “GNOME Codecs”). Through the command line as described in this page: SDB:Installing codecs from Packman repositories - openSUSE Wiki, running the following commands sudo zypper addrepo -cfp 90 'https:/…

AFAICS, the “mozilla-openh264” is located in the OpenH264 codecs repository: <https://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/>
<http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Leap/x86_64/>
