Hi, when I click the update button (running opensuse 13.2) it says one package is to be removed and five added. The one to be removed is called libpdb0-32bit. It then says “Removing a protected system package is not allowed.”
What do I do?
Thanks
Well, it should not want to remove libpdb0-32bit in the first place, it doesn’t do that here.
Please post your repo list:
zypper lr -d
And the output of “sudo zypper up -D” to get more details why it wants to remove that.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Ok, so zypper has no problem.
Maybe there just was some temporary inconsistency on some mirror?
Try to refresh PackageKit’s cache (by right-clicking on the Updater icon and selecting “Check for new updates”) and install the updates again.
If it still doesn’t work just use “sudo zypper up” to install them.
libpdb0-32bit is part of that samba update, so the problem should be gone afterwards.
PS: Your repo #9 is for 13.1. Change the URL to say openSUSE_13.2 instead… 
The updater icon isn’t there anymore 
Done it.
Edit: Never mind I found the icon haha. I get the same error.
Hm.
Try to remove PackageKit’s cache then:
sudo rm /var/lib/PackageKit/*
It made no difference
Hm. No idea then.
It doesn’t seem to be a general problem, because I don’t see that here.
Probably it’s caused by some other package you have installed, but would be strange that zypper does not want uninstall libpdb0-32bit then.
Maybe try to disable all repos except the standard ones. Can you reproduce the issue then?
Maybe try to run “pkcon -v update”, this might give more clues.
Or have a look at the PackageKit log, /var/log/pk_backend_zypp .
