Trouble with software update in tumbleweed

Hello,

Complete noob here…

As the title says, I cannot update my tumbleweed with Discover app for the last few weeks. I always get the error message:

“Dependency resolution failed: problem with the installed libxvidcore4-1.3.7-1699.1.pm.80.x86_64”

Could somebody please suggest a step-by-step fix? Thank you

Upgrade using zypper (as root)…
zypper -vvv dup
then reboot.

BTW, best practice is to do this at runlevel 3 (multi-user.target mode).

Report back if you have any problems.

This package needs to be switched back to openSUSE from packman via zypper.

Always update Tumbleweed in a terminal with:

zypper dup

This time you need to do:

zypper dup --allow-vendor-change

“–allow-vendor-change” will allow it to change from Packman to the Suse repo to fix your missing file.

“Dependency resolution failed: problem with the installed libxvidcore4-1.3.7-1699.1.pm.80.x86_64”
