Hi again
I have been updating my opensuse 13,2 using zypper up. After installing lots of files it stopped with this message

File './Essentials/x86_64/libavcodec56-2.8.20161206.16c0d8a-1.1.x86_64.rpm' not found on medium 'http://packman.inSUSE_13.2/'

I opted to ignore the file which produced this message

Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/? shows all options] (a): i

Not sure what this means I decided to abort.

It seems i need to find and install ‘/Essentials/x86_64/libavcodec56-2.8.20161206.16c0d8a-1.1.x86_64.rpm’. my problem is where do i start looking for it.

Here is a list of my repos

As usually, your help is appreciated

When that happens, I usually abort. Then I wait a few hours and try again.

The Packman mirror that you are using was possibly being rebuilt at the time that you were updating.

You could also try:

# zypper refresh --force --repo Packman

and then repeat your update attempt. That sometimes works.

Note that I took the name “Packman” from the alias column of your repo list.

Hi
Sounds like something is out of sync as the following are there (different builds…)


libavcodec57-3.0.20161205.b408dba-1.9.x86_64.rpm
libavcodec56-2.8.20161206.16c0d8a-1.2.x86_64.rpm

Try forcing zypper to clean and rebuild the cache;


zypper cc -a
zypper ref -f

See how that goes and try your update again.

Thank you, It works now
