zypper dup: libopenssl-1_0_0_devel-1.0.2n-1.2.x.86_64 conflicts with libopenssl-devel

Hi,

for some weeks I get error messages related to openssl when running “zypper dup” on my tumbleweed notebook. This is the output i get:

Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/4/c] (c):

this is kind of strange because i have a nearly identical installation on my main pc, but did not get this problem there. Anyway, i always choose option 1, hoping the error will go away after a while but i guess this is not happening anymore.

So what should i do?

You cannot have libopenssl-1_0_0_devel and libopenssl-devel (which is 1.1.0 since some time) installed at the same time.

You probably have some package installed that needed the former in the past and now has been ported to OpenSSL 1.1.0 (one would be libqt4-devel).

Choose solution 3.
You only need -devel packages to compile applications yourself, so you probably might also just uninstall it completely…
