Goodmorning everybody,
Opensuse Leap 15.6 with added repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/$releasever/
Here’s the problem:
Any ideas?
Best,
Teuniz
Build is broken.
The kmp has version 7.2.0, all others have Version 7.1.12a.
As basic advise: If you do not know how to handle such issues, do not use or add developement repositories.

I fully second that.
Please be patient and forgive me my ignorance, how do I understand that this specific repo
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/15.6/
is a development repo?
Any repo outside
- For Leap:
– https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/
– https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.6/ - For Tumbleweed:
– https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/
– https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/
– https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed-non-oss/
Is either “Development” or (even worse) “Experimental” or “3rd party”. The packages + distro integration have passed openQA (openqa.opensuse.org) testing successfully, the others are not, so more of a “use at own risk” nature.
I hope this provides some clarity
There are also several wiki articles as example this one:

Yeah, just wanted to simplify that.
Why hassle with that additional repo … VirtualBox exists in the default Leap 15.6 Main repo and via Main Update repo:
.
You’d have it installed by now and using it
Yes, I’m using Virtualbox a lot, but 7.1.4 is rather old.
I update Virtualbox every once in a while and it’s only recently that I see this error.
I can’t wait for the official update repo in order to update for example Firefox.
That’s why I use
http://mirror.aardsoft.fi/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/
I’m doing that for years and now I should’t do that anymore?
For work I need KiCad so I’m forced to use
http://mirror.aardsoft.fi/opensuse/repositories/home:/Simmphonie:/kicad/$releasever/
I shouldn’t do that either? Better to switch to Ubuntu or Fedora that officially supports KiCad?
In other words, I shouldn’t trust https://software.opensuse.org/ ?
@Teuniz sure you can, but it’s your job to figure out any issues. That is not the design philosophy for Leap, never has been. Long term, stable, no feature updates, just bug and security fixes.
Look at using flatpaks?
If your wanting tested feature release updates, then Slowroll, MicroOS or Tumbleweed is for that…

I know that, and one way to figure it it out is to ask on this forum if somebody has an idea about what is going on with that repo.
If the maintainer of that repo simply forgot something or is still working on it, that’s ok.
It’s not the first time that I encounter something like that. Usually I wait a couple of days and check again and most of the time everything is fine again.
It looks like the build of the application failed but the kernel module succeeded.
Hence the mismatch. Mistery solved.
Because in this Repo the new Versions of a programm are build to see, if there are any solvable errors on the build or not.
