Zypper dup has vlc conflicts since this morning

Hy again!

Have on different machines with different repo configs since this morning (at least…):

Any advice? Wait another day? Or how to resolve?

I tried the solutions recommending switching VLC from packman to opensuse repo, but that results finally in some “missing” conflicts, so I canceled the update.

The switch back to OSS version worked flawlessly on several machines. Packman may need some more time to pick up the latest version…

Hmm, I have a conflict here when switching to opensuse from packman:

…and no option sounds really good to me.

You need to chose the options which switch the packages to vendor openSUSE.
It may be easier for you to use YaST Software. Search for VLC and switch in the versions tab to openSUSE OSS. It is a little bit more convinient as the terminal way in such case…

Zypper performed the upgrade anyway:

Presumably you don’t need phonon-vlc-qt5 and phonon-vlc-qt6. Host 3400g doesn’t need them. Select Solution 1.

I have updated the packages to 3.0.21 under Tumbleweed without any dependency conflicts with the phonon packages. However, I took the packages from the multimedia repository.

@karlmistelberger I followed your advice and everything went smooth: uninstalled phonon qt5/6 solution 1) and zypper dup --allow-vendor-change
Thanks!
