Try to build software - gtk2-devel and gtk3-devel package conflicts

Hi,

I try to install software to develop against. My code uses wxWidgets and therefore I tried to install the following options, wich fail all:

wxGTK-devel - conflict
gtk2-devel (+ wxWidgets source) - conflict
gtk3-devel (+ wxWidgets source) - conflict

All three options seem to fail with:

And therefore I ask here as the wxWidgets developers point out to try here.

Has anyone noticed similar issues?

I am using a iso downloaded with the following name:
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20231222-Media.iso

Thanks in advance,

Lothar

The actual version in Tumbleweed is girepository-1_0-1.82.0-2.2. So where is this old package coming from?

Is the system fully upgraded? Or what is the reason to use a 2 year old ISO?

The base was from the snapshot out of the image I have mentioned from 20231222.

I have now downloaded the latest snapshot and directly tried to install wxGTK-dev.
That worked and also the conflicts are gone. This means I have to update a snapshot before installing further software. But My update broke KDE Plasma FullHD settings and that lead me to ignore that.

Now I have a good FullHD setting after installing wxGTK (no update yet, but I try that also) and can compile. Basically the too old image didn’t cope with updating, but now I am happy.

Thanks
