I get “There are some conflicts on the transaction that must be solved manually” I would like to just include an attachment but, not permitted. Anyways there are three options:
replacement of liboil-0.3.14------ with
liboil-0_3-0-0.3.15-0.pm.2.i586
do not install vlc
Ignore some dependencies of vlc-noX
I’m reluctant to try one and mess everything up.
Choose option #1 – it is a requirement of that VLC package.
Thanks but, after that I get another two options; neither choice changes anything:
oiboil_3-0----- obloletes liboil <=0.3.14
The following actions will be done
do not install liboil-0_3-0-0 -----
do not install vlc -----
Replacement of liboil-3.14-18---- with
liboil-0_3-0-0.15----
Tried the second option the same conflicts keep returning.
What was the message output after you chose:
Replacement of liboil-3.14-18---- with
liboil-0_3-0-0.15----
Nothing happens; the same window keeps returning.
Edit: Gotta switch to Fedora for a bit and off to bed. Will check tomorrow if you’re able to think of anything.
Thanks for your time.
I have a suspicion that this is a problem with repositories that are not setup properly, where inappropriate repositories (repos) are giving zypper a difficult time in sorting the dependencies. I always recommend 4 (and only 4) repos to avoid such problems … ie OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. Just those 4. Only add more when one understands the risks, and when one understands how to sort dependency hiccups that can result from too many repos.
What is the output of:
zypper lr
If you post that output here, it may be possible to confirm my suspicion. Or simply change to the 4 repos I recommend, remove all others, and try again. You can find advice on how to setup those 4 repos here:
Repositories/11.0 - openSUSE-Community
I’m currently travelling a lot, so my replies may be days apart.
Here is zypper lr results:
1 | repo-debug | openSUSE-11.0-Debug | No | No
2 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.0-Non-Oss | Yes | No
3 | openSUSE-DVD 11.0 | openSUSE-DVD 11.0 | Yes | No
4 | Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.0 | Packman Repository | Yes | Yes
5 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.0-Oss | Yes | No
6 | openSUSE-11.0-Updates | Updates for 11.0 | Yes | Yes
Well I now have just the non-oss, packman, oss and Updates and get the same results trying to install VLC. I choose the Replacement and the same window returns ie nothing happens.
oiboil_3-0----- obloletes liboil <=0.3.14
The following actions will be done
do not install liboil-0_3-0-0 -----
do not install vlc -----
Replacement of liboil-3.14-18---- with
liboil-0_3-0-0.15----
Try ONLY removing liboil-3.14-18 and installing liboil-0_3-0-0.15 all in the same operation, and NO other application install/de-installs at the same time, and see if that works.
I removed 3.14 but, couldn’t find the 0_3. So put it back. Maybe I should just give MPlayer a shot.
Couldn’t find? Then your repos are likely messed up. Its there. I recommend you check again.
PackMan :: Package details for liboil
Here’s my Repos:
1 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.0-Non-Oss | Yes | No
2 | Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.0 | Packman Repository | Yes | Yes
3 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.0-Oss | Yes | No
4 | openSUSE-11.0-Updates | Updates for 11.0 | Yes | Yes
and here is all that shows under liboil:
• liboil-0_3-0-debuginfo
• liboil-0_3-0-debugsource
• liboil-devel
• liboil-doc
Did you mean to download and install it that way?
ver: 0.3.15-0.pm.2
Is in Packman
delete the ver you earlier put back
Use software management
search : liboil
highlight the package
liboil-0_3-0
for install
next try vlc
The repos look ok.
You don’t need those (ie don’t need debuginfo, debugsource, debug-devel, debug-doc). The one you need is simply “liboil”. If you add more rpms that you need, there is always a risk you can bring about unnecessary dependency problems.
On my openSUSE-10.3 (and 11.0) PC, I have liboil-0_3-0-0.3.15-0.pm.2 installed (and no other liboil apps).
All that comes up on the search is liboil-0_3-0-debuginfo and liboil-0_3-0-debugsource
you quoted this repo yourself:
Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.0
and within it is:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/i586/liboil-0_3-0-0.3.15-0.pm.2.i586.rpm
My elevator may run a bit shy of the top deck; I don’t know but, all of a sudden the right liboil is there and VLC is installing as I speak. Thank you for your help; you too Oldcpu.

Very funnyrotfl!
Hope it all works
OK one more for you: I selected “Custom” in “Preferred Applications/Multimedia” and put “/usr/bin/vlc” into “Command” but, Totem still defaults. Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
