Although I am happy with most of tumbleweed, its getting on my nerves too.
Almost every time there is an update there is a problem. ( 9 out of 10 times there is an issue, and I am getting fed up with it )
How to solve it ? The two repositories that seem to cause trouble are packman and a repository from Dave platter.
Both of them I don’t want to loose.
Example of teh problem today, I see this problem about every time there are updates.

Last few weeks I have been going into yast many times, switch all packages to packman, but that does not seem to help much as it in preventing update issues.
Can I maybe lower the priorities of certain repositories to solve this?
This is totally spoiling my fun with tumbleweed, to get an error about every freaking time there is an update.
I am really not exaggerating, 9 out of 10 times when there is an update I see this error.
I hope this is fixable?
I already gave up on using the simple update way, and am use zypper dup these days.
I have fixed it many times by going into yast, then look for the package that conflicts, and solve it, but I cant believe its normal I have to go into yast 3 times a week to fix issues?
Again I am not exaggerating and hope somebody can help me.
I always thought of “zypper dup” as THE simple update way (on TW).
Maybe uninstall this *suse packages?
# echo review your repositories priorities (lower numbers have precedence)
# zypper lr --details
#
# echo manage to upgrade the system successfully
# zypper dup
#
# echo find unneeded packages to remove
# zypper pa --unneeded
#
# echo find stale packages to remove (@System)
# zypper pa --orphaned

Do you switch your packages from openSUSE Repo to Packman Repo?
Hi
So always use zypper dup Your problem is self inflicted since a lot of the packages from the openSUSE Multimedia repository are maintained by Mr Platter… and ultimately just linked to packman build service to rebuild. What packages can’t you get from packman, perhaps as the maintainer to push over to packman so you only have one repository…
Hi
Just let them overwrite, or ask the maintainer what/why it’s happening… ideally, Mr Platter should turn off publishing for those packages if they conflict with Packman so you don’t get the issue, or stop using Mr Platter’s repo…
I gave up on clicking the update icon a few weeks back, now only using zypper dup, and still most of the time I get the above error.
Gonna try switching to packman from the commandline. ( lost count on how any times I have done this in yast already )
Thats part of my frustration, I seem to have to do this multiple times a week.
Should I disable the platter one? I know why I added it . Carla a plugin host I use in LMMS.
( there ware some issues, dave did a great job, but for me to get his latest versons, I had to add the repository)
Will turn it off for now, and see if switching again to packman, will calm things down.

Doorgaan? [ja/nee] (nee):
Hi
I would suggest visiting YaST Software management and look at the @System files above and make sure the whole package is switched over to Packman, do it one at a time
Found something, when I looked in yast, at the three files. Deleted the file from the platter repository.

Er zijn actieve programma's die nog steeds bestanden en bibliotheken gebruiken die verwijderd of bijgewerkt zijn door recente opwaarderingen. Ze zouden opnieuw gestart moeten worden om voordeel te hebben van de laatste vormen van bijwerken. Voer 'zypper ps -s' uit om een lijst met deze programma's te maken.

Disabled auto refresh on the platter repository. Fingers crossed.
When you use a language different from English in your system and you want to post systme messages in your post in the English section of the forums, then please precede your commands with LANG=C. Example:
For me personal it does not matter if the cli is in Dutch or Englisch, but for this forum its probably better when it’s english.
Starting to wonder while I type this. If zypper dup allow vendor change got me into this mess.
Used that a few weeks ago, but since then learned I should not have done that.
Also wondering if I should disable the platter repository ?
I do have quite a few files from that repository.
Yesterday had one file causing a conflict, but that was easy to fix in YAST by switching that package to the Tumbleweed version.
I might save allot of time if I learn to really use all the zypper options, or create a cheat sheet.
Been reading this topic again, and try to learn something from it.
Zypper dup allow vendor change, might be what got me into the update trouble. Will never use that zypper option again.
I also tried the zypper commands suggested in this topic.
It’s unusual to have orphaned packages just after a successful zypper dup, in such cases it’s an indication of issues. If you disable a repository, any packages installed from it cannot be updated, that’s the concept of “orphaned”. Do a zypper dup, after that investigate any orphans left.
