Tumbleweed update issue.....

English Applications
1

Hi,

I am running tumbleweed on my new laptop, Ryzen 7/Geforce GTX.
Works fine, I have been on vacation for 5 days, and now I get the notification : You have 2,685 new updates
Ok, I suppose that comes with a rolling release.
Start the update, get the message : Update error : vlc-lang-3.0.11-1.6.noarch requires vlc-noX = 3.0.11, but this requirement cannot be providedvlc-noX-3.0.11-4.9.x86_64 requires libvlc5 = 3.0.11-4.9, but this requirement cannot be provided.
So I unchecked all VLC related update items in the update list. Restart update, same result.
Tried YAST update, no updates listed.
How to proceed ?

Please advise.

Please post:

zypper se -si vlc

zypper lr -d

And you use only

zypper dup

to update?

You are not alone in getting that error message. I have a Ryzen 7 in my desktop (only OS is Tumbleweed) and I got the same VLC error message and 3 similar messages about other VLC packages not being provided. For each instance, I choose the option to “keep the obsolete package”. (The precise wording of the choice has been paraphrased based on my memory.)
Not saying what I did is the best solution, only that it worked for me.

My new Tumbleweed system keeps trying to screw me over by removing ffmpeg codecs that I need to watch videos in Firefox. I fixed it, though. I got them reinstalled and locked them in zypper. It still tries to remove them with every dup, but now it can’t. :wink:

Hi
There will also be issues with Packman until September the 8th, so packages may not get rebuilt or/or published… so probably keep things locked until then :wink:

I use automatic updates.

I use automatic updates.

The only way to Update an Tumbleweed is by:

zypper dup

So try it.

i+ | libvlc5 | package | 3.0.11-4.9 | x86_64 | (System Packages)

In the Repo:

libvlc5 | package | 3.0.11.1-4.3

zypper dup will update…

OK, zypper dup completed without issues. Thanks.
