You must deinstall openSUSE-release-12.1-1.4 so that openSUSE-release-12.1-2.1 update patch may be installed.
Romanator,
Thanks I wasn’t sure what that meant, I’ve not seen a patch like that one before.
I’ve seen this with the gstreamer demux Mp3 package from Packman and an update patch. I had to deinstall it first so that the update patch could be applied.
After clicking it, I then get this:

This almost a complete reinstall I don’t even remember a kernel update like this one! I have a 64 system much of what I had to take off to fit in here was about architecture change to 32bit
I put this up for everyone’s consideration because TJDL.
^^ - I get the dependency issues as well.
Not sure what repo or package is causing this…
I’m using openSUSE 12.1 Gnome.
He means, when you press the update and ask you to deinstall the old opensuse-release
deinstall it.
If you deinstall it first before trying to update it will give you those millions of deinstallation.
i think it has something to do with this bug report -
Oh boy! Thanks for the link to the bug report.
No the right time to update guys until this bug is resolved, you’ll all mess your day if you do so. :\
Yes, Thanks for the link to the bug report.
I just decided to check for updates, saw that, and went, huh?
To all who read this thread DO NOT DO THE UPDATE!!!
I just tried it on a sandbox PC good thing I did it’s now unbootable,
Thanks.
I already ran into the problem. I just hit “cancel” several times. Then I unchecked everthing but the “openssl” update, and went with just that.
I’ll try again in a couple of days, to see if the problem has been fixed.
Hello everybody,
don’t want to nit-pick, but would it be possible to change this thread’s title, as it seems to be one that would interest a lot of people, but looks more like an ambiguous “need help, please”.
Well colour me confused then. I ran the update yesterday and haven’t had any problems. 
Good point. However, the error is gone now. See this identical thread:
openSUSE-release error
lol, yeah, I got that sinking feeling when i saw 700+ deinstall recommendations, havn’t seen owt like that since I deleted that pesky KDE back in suse 9.1 !
At least I didn’t do it this time, I must be leet
