Webkit2gtk update

English Applications
#1

I have two updates in Discover which will not go away. They both gives a similar message:

installed WebKit2GTK-4.1-lang-2.38.6-150400.4.42.4.noarch requires ‘WebKit2GTK-4.1 = 2.38.6’, but this requirement cannot be provided

I think a new patch was installed a week ago, but the two former updates is still asking to be installed. What is this about? Are the packages WebKitGTK-4.0-lang and WebKit2GTK-4.1-lang up to date? If they are, why does the machine pushing me to update them? I tried to update in the terminal, but the updates does not appear when I do zypper update.

Well, zypper is the native openSUSE tool (together with YaST > Software). I do believe it.

Delete the updates in Discover?

Surprise - the fix was not complete. For 15.4 it is tracked in 1214093 – openSUSE-SLE-15.4-2023-3233 fails to install due to missing libwebkit2gtk3 = 2.40.5, interested parties may search for similar bug report for 15.5 or submit one.

Please always include the command in your copy/paste. It is only one line more at the begin (and when you want to do still better, also include one line more at the bottom, the one with the new prompt).

Not very difficult to do and then we know what you did to create the output you want to show.

#16

This one…

#17

I answer my own post.

I did miss that you dis not use zypper, but YaST. But we still do not know what exact action you did with YaST.

In any case, when you thought you had the same problem, then why didn’t you do the same as the OP was advised (and that helped him):

zypper patch
#18

Thanks very much for confirming that Sauerland. It’s gone away!

PS hcvv you are right there in your reply.
I just wanted to double check as “delete it” was not super clear to me. I don’t like uninstalling things when I don’t know what they do.
Thanks

#19

Nice it is all solved. Enjoy.
