Hi all,

I cleaned my repos a bit and wanted to update my system with zypper dup. However, zypper dup wants to uninstall many many packages.

Here are my repos:

Here’s the terminal output when I want to run zypper dup:

Is it safe to update?

Sorry, but the crucial information from your repo list is missing. Please

zypper lr -d

And better upload to https://susepaste.org/

I get al sorts of warnings from the site you link to.

As hcvv says, we can’t tell what repos you have from that limited information.

Looking at your output, it seems that you have removed a bunch of repos. Since I don’t know why you added those repos, I can’t tell whether that was a wise move.

Some of the problems are for libqt4 packages. I’m pretty sure that qt4 was removed from Tumbleweed some time ago. But apparently the packman repo still supports those.

I have never used “steam” software, so I have no opinion on those.

What it really boils down to, is that there are decisions that you have to make and that nobody else can make for you.

Here is the info you asked for

Tried susepaste, but it won’t let me continue, I get an error message back saying I’m a spammer. Here is another link: Just Paste Me

Your pastebin suggests…

  1. You added the packman repository, but you didn’t run the command to set your system to pull packages from packman over the OSS whenever possible
zypper dup --from packman
  1. At least for an application (wouldn’t know about your system), there is an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. Did an application change architecture?

Hi thanks for the reply, This is what happens when I try to updated :

If I choose to uninstall these packages for which requirements cannot be provided, looks like it’s the best solution. What do you think?

I can’t make your decisions for you. However, if it were me then I would probably go ahead with the deinstalling. That would give me a stable system.

Looks like this was the right approach, I was able to update and re-install these packages without any issues!
