Webkit2gtk update fails repeatedly

I’ve had similar problems in the past that have resolved on their own after a day or two. I figure it’s a stale repository or something like that and just wait it out. This one, though, has been happening for over a week: I get “one update available” in my desktop, I click to install it, and it invariably fails with this error:

the installed WebKit2GTK-4.0-lang-2.38.6-150400.4.42.4.noarch requires ‘WebKit2GTK-4.0 = 2.38.6’, but this requirement cannot be provided

When I run Online Update in Yast in a terminal, I get a little more information:

Problems
the installed WebKit2GTK-4.0-lang-2.38.6-150400.4.42.4.noarch
requires ‘WebKit2GTK-4.0 = 2.38.6’, but this requirement cannot be provided

not installable providers:

libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37-2.36.0-150400.2.13.x86_64[openSUSE-Leap-15.4-1]
libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37-2.36.0-150400.2.13.x86_64[repo-oss]
libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37-2.36.3-150400.4.3.1.x86_64[repo-sle-update]

Any ideas?

Getting same patch issue for about a week. Thought I’d let it ride until someone else raised the issue. At least others are seeing same thing.

Thanks, Hui! I wonder why that didn’t show up when I searched the Forum? Hmmm …

I am getting the same update failure as well. Is this related to the ongoing Evolution mail reader problem where the main text box is collapsed to a single line?
