Update to TW 20250127 : 151 not being installed

Hi all,

I just upgraded TW to 20250127 using zypper dup

All looks fine and there aren’t any visible issues. But I got a warning that 151 packages were not going to be installed. These were mostly fonts.

But I am pretty confused about that. Is this a bug? What does it mean exactly?

Thanks,

:wink:

Please show your repos:
zypper lr -d

Show your repo list via zypper lr -d and show the full output of zypper dup.

Hmm, not sure how this will look like printed, I had to reduce the font a lot:

@hui
I am afraid that it doesn’t says much, I just ran an update this morning:

[sudo] password for root: 
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.
Computing distribution upgrade...
Nothing to do.

But as I commented: I didn’t have any problems running yesterday, and the systems runs pretty nicely today too. I was rather afraid that something would go wrong, and the system would become unstable: That’s my work laptop. With afraid, I also mean “midly afraid”, as I am aware that I can just roll back to a previous snapshot if needed. It’s tested and it works flawlessly :slight_smile:

Then you shouldn’t use KDE development repositories on top (which is kind of useless for normal users on a rolling release like Tumbleweed. It is more for testers and developers). Additionally they have the wrong priority.

Additionally home repos may also be a insecurity and instability factor.

So issues as you described are programmed…

Possibly some kind of version / vendor mismatch of files available in repo

with those in the main repos or those installed in the system?
Possibly self-fixed by an update meanwhile so that you don’t see it anymore now?
