Hi,

I installed Leap 15 then did zypper up and then added the packman repo.

Now when I do zypper up I see this

# zypper up
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

The following 18 package updates will NOT be installed:
  gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-lang gstreamer-plugins-libav
  gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-lang libgstadaptivedemux-1_0-0
  libgstbadaudio-1_0-0 libgstbadbase-1_0-0 libgstbadvideo-1_0-0
  libgstbasecamerabinsrc-1_0-0 libgstcodecparsers-1_0-0 libgstgl-1_0-0
  libgstmpegts-1_0-0 libgstphotography-1_0-0 libgsturidownloader-1_0-0
  libgstwayland-1_0-0 libquicktime0 vlc-codec-gstreamer

Nothing to do.

What should I do ?

#2

Did you also do the “vendor switch” to the Packman repo?
If so, this is perfectly normal. These packages exist both in the distro’s repo and the Packman repo, you should use the packman ones, and zypper tells you that there are updated packages in the distribution that will not be installed since you told zypper the use the packman ones.
If not,


sudo zypper dup --from Packman\ Repository --allow-vendor-change

makes the vendor change happen. Yet you will see such a list of packages, since you cannot have the same package both from the distro and from Packman

#3

That sort of message is not necessarily a problem. However, I am not seeing those at present with Leap 15.0. So I think it is telling you that there are updates in the packman repo, but they won’t be installed because that would require a vendor change.

Now that you have added the packman repo, you need to switch packages to that repo.

One way to do that, is to use Yast Software Management. Select the “Repositories” view. Then click on the packman repo (in the list of repos). There should be an option near the top of the screen, to switch system packages to this repo. Use that option.

You will probably get a conflict dialog for each package to be switched. In my opinion, that’s bug, since you already said you wanted to switch.

The other way to switch, which is the one that I used, avoids that conflict dialog. I simply used:

zypper dup --from "packman" --allow-vendor-change

except that you must replace “packman” with the name of your packman repo. And use quotes if that name contains spaces or other special characters.

Repository 'packman' not found by its alias, number, or URI.
Use 'zypper repos' to get the list of defined repositories.

^^ This didn’t work but this worked

There are some running programs that might use files deleted by recent upgrade. You may wish to check and restart some of them. Run 'zypper ps -s' to list these programs.
#5

By sasying “packman” in the suggestion, it means that you enter an identification of the Packman repository as it is on your system. When you study

man zypper

you will see that you can use either the Name, the Alias or the Number of the repository.

You can see all of them with

zypper lr -d
#6

That means:
There are newer versions/releases of a pacakge in another repo as the installed one.
zypper up will not do any repo change.

And often its not necessary to have the newest packages with the newest errors installed.
That depends only on you.

I do following if such message is showing:

zypper se -s packagename

To see, in which repo is what version and if I want to switch.

PS:
your packages are from packman and I would switch to them as posted by the other members.
