Problem: 1: the installed binutils-gold-2.43-150100.7.52.1.x86_64 requires 'binutils = 2.43-150100.7.52.1', but this requirement cannot be provided
 Solution 1: deinstallation of binutils-gold-2.43-150100.7.52.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install patch:openSUSE-SLE-15.6-2025-4096-1.noarch
 Solution 3: break binutils-gold-2.43-150100.7.52.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c/d/?] (c):

Is suggestion to delete “gold” package?

Yes, because with 2.45 it is not build anymore.
