Updates failing

English Applications
#2

Why do you not show the complete terminal output so that we see what you see?

sudo zypper up
#3

We’re still suffering a few repository meta-data issues – please execute:

# zypper refresh --force

before, you take a look at the patches and updates to be installed.

#4

Here is what looks wrong to me:

Executing %posttrans scripts ...........................................................................[done]
There are running programs which still use files and libraries deleted or updated by recent upgrades. They should be restarted to benefit from the latest updates. Run 'zypper ps -s' to list these programs.

The system tray update is now saying there is only the one package to update (so success in as much as the other updates have installed) but here is the error which persists:

the installed plymouth-lang-0.9.5~git20210406.e554475-150400.3.8.1.noarch requires 'plymouth = 0.9.5~git20210406.e554475', but this requirement cannot be provided
#5

I have tried that but still get the error:

the installed plymouth-lang-0.9.5~git20210406.e554475-150400.3.8.1.noarch requires 'plymouth = 0.9.5~git20210406.e554475', but this requirement cannot be provided

How can I determine what this is / fix it?

#6

The dracut messages are completely normal.

And don’t provide only partly informations. Provide the complete output of

sudo zypper up

Include the command above, the output and the next prompt.

You have a bloody mess of old and invalid repos configured. So we need to start cleaning up this mess. Show your repositories with:

zypper lr -d

I don’t know why that should be! But thanks, and here is the output from that last command:

You can get rid of all the repos starting SUSE:SLE-15. These were probably installed when you downloaded something from software.opensuse.org.

#11

These are the basic repos most need to have (enabled):

#12

Repo 1 to 14 are invalid (either from 1-click installations or for Leap 15.5, wild mix of SLE repos…)
You should remove these.

#13

I know I need #13 for Signal Desktop Messenger.

How can I tell which repo. is causing the update issue?

#14

Why do you believe that you need a Leap 15.5 repo on your Leap 15.4?

ALL of the invalid repos cause issues. Do you understand that you have repos from no longer existing SUSE Linux Enterprise versions on your Leap 15.4 system installed? Thats why you get such output:

#15

Delete the unneeded ones one at a time, try updating, repeat. When the failure ceases, you know the last one removed was a problem. It really doesn’t matter which is the cause. Others you shouldn’t have will remain poised to cause future trouble, so rid yourself of, or disable, all but the 9 you actually need.

#16

My mistake - I see that there is also an entry for SDM 15.4 so presumably THAT is the one I do need. I do not know why there is a repo. for 15.5 - I certainly didn’t configure it myself, so I wonder where it came from.

I shall delete the repos. you suggest and report back - probably tomorrow now. Thank you very much for your help in the meantime.

#17

Will do, thank you very much.

Also please show your Repo list after cleaning:

Does this look better:

Much better. But you should also remove repo number 1 as it is the same as repo number 14 (you can see this by comparing the URL).
