Zypper is not updating Wavebox

Cris70 · January 27, 2026, 2:26pm

I have the Wavebox repository added to Tumbleweed’s repos.
Wavebox has always been updating without issues.
Now the repo has a new version of Wavebox, but zypper says it has nothing to do.
I have already checked that the repo is correct.
Here is some output to check:

The following item is locked and will not be changed by any action:

Nothing to do.

The repo number 15 is Wavebox’ repo.
I would expect zypper to install version 10.144.66-2, but instead it doesn’t do anything as you can see above.

Show your repos, please zypper lr -d

hcvv · January 27, 2026, 2:40pm

Maybe it hasn’t much to do with your problem, but why a dup (which I, in combination with --from associate with “vendor switching”) instead of a up (which I associate with “update”)?

Cris70 · January 27, 2026, 2:57pm

Because it’s Tumbleweed. On Tumbleweed you always dup.
The --from was only to give you a simplified view, by eliminating all the messages related to other repos.

Sauerland · January 27, 2026, 2:58pm

When you have added it with:

64-bit Zypper-repository

curl -sSL https://download.wavebox.app/static/wavebox_repo.key | sudo gpg --import
sudo wget -P /etc/zypp/repos.d/ https://download.wavebox.app/stable/linux/rpm/wavebox.repo
sudo zypper in Wavebox

The refresh is not enabled.

cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/wavebox.repo 
[wavebox]
name=Wavebox - $basearch
baseurl=https://download.wavebox.app/stable/linux/rpm
enabled=1
gpgkeyy=https://download.wavebox.app/static/wavebox_repo.key

So:

Maybe a conflict:

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libonnxruntime.so(VERS_1.23.2)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed Wavebox-10.144.66-2.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install Wavebox-10.144.66-2.x86_64
 Solution 2: break Wavebox-10.144.66-2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

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

Sauerland · January 27, 2026, 3:10pm

Try it by your own:

zypper in -f Wavebox

This will install the latest Wavebox Version, if Wabbox is only available in the Wavebox Repo. The --force will install it once more, if installed.

Cris70 · January 27, 2026, 3:21pm

Yes, that seems to be the problem:

However, I was more concerned about the behavior of “zypper dup” than about finding a solution to the upgrade problem.
Don’t you think that “zypper dup” is behaving strangely?
I would have expected to see the same message as reported above by “zypper in”.

knurpht · January 27, 2026, 3:23pm

Chris. try the flatpak

Cris70 · January 27, 2026, 4:10pm

Thank you @knurpht , that is probably the best way to upgrade.
I have tried installing libonnx from the Tumbleweed OSS repo, but it didn’t help, unfortunately.

Cris70 · January 28, 2026, 3:01pm

Just so that you all know: yesterday I reported the problem to the Wavebox creators.
I did not have a reply, but today they released v10.144.72-2, which updates correctly on Tumbleweed.

I’m still perplexed by the behavior of zypper, but I’m not sure if I should report it as a bug.
