Problem: 1: the to be installed dpkg-1.22.6-129.5.x86_64 requires 'perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.38.2)', but this requirement cannot be provided

deleted providers: perl-5.38.2-3.1.x86_64

 Solution 1: install dpkg-1.22.6-1.2.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE
  replacing dpkg-1.22.6-129.4.x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/system:packagemanager
 Solution 2: install dpkg-1.22.6-129.5.i586 despite the inferior architecture
 Solution 3: keep obsolete perl-5.38.2-3.1.x86_64
 Solution 4: break dpkg-1.22.6-129.5.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/3/4/s/r/c/d/?] (c): 1

 Solution 1: deinstallation of alien-8.95.6-6.1.noarch
 Solution 2: keep obsolete perl-base-5.38.2-3.1.x86_64

I don’t want to break things by choosing the wrong options, but searching for the conflicts provided nothing close to what I’m seeing here.

Appreciate any help.

Accepting packages from vendor openSUSE is almost always a safe choice, so you can go for solution 1 for problem 1.
For poblem 2, if you do not actively use the alien package, I would deinstall it. You might also go for solution 3 first and try to run the alien command. If it works, you are all set, otherwise you would have to wait for an update. You can always roll back if you run into problems.

You shouldn’t add arbritrary repositories including home repos.It requires some knowledge to deal with the outcome. You are risking your system stability by adding such repos…

Out of curiosity - how alien suddenly comes in picture? There is no reference to alien anywhere.

5

From the first post.

6

There it is…

7

OK, missed it.

Thanks all, appreciate the responses.

As for alien - don’t recall why that’s in use - possibly to install some package that wasn’t available via zypper. Pretty sure I can live without that.

Will update if I run into any new probs.

Oddly, this time when I ran ‘dup’ no conflicts were reported and it just ran thru.
So “thanks” to anyone out there that might have tweaked something!
