Hey all,
Even after I reinstalled OpenSUSE 11.0 , I still seem to have a problem with the library files for Zypper. When I go to install any library file through YaST, such as cups-lib, I get the following error: click here. I don’t want to jump and make any changes because that is what caused YaST and Zypper to fail last time an error like this happened. The other program I have is that when I go to install standard patched and updates, I get this error…
nothing provides libexiv2.so.4 needed by libkexiv2-3-0.1.7-15.i586
nothing provides libexiv2.so.4 needed by ufraw-0.13-52.i586

zvbi-0.2.30-3.i586 requires libzvbi.so.0, but this requirement cannot be provided
gconf2-branding-openSUSE-2.20-60.noarch requires desktop-data-openSUSE = 11.0, but this requirement cannot be provided
libtunepimp5-mp4-0.5.3-100.pm.9.i586 requires libtunepimp5 = 0.5.3-100.pm.9, but this requirement cannot be provided
zypper-0.11.9-0.1.i586 requires libzypp.so.424, but this requirement cannot be provided
I added the KDE4 Factory repository to see if that would help (since I use Gnome), but that really didn’t do much, maybe just stopped one of the errors. So, my question is, should I simply ignore this, or is this a problem with OpenSUSE: that the patches do not match the version of the needed by the programs?
Thank you in advance! 
Looks like you have the zypp:svn repository. And it’s trying to mix zypper from the official repository with libzypp from zypp:svn.
Anyway, “do not install libzypp-5.0.2-5.i586” looks like the correct answer to me.
A “zypper sl” would make things clearer.
I ran zypper sl, and got the following…

And are you sure you want all of them???
Specially the “Factory” (openSUSE development version) ones…
Most of them were added when I installed 1 single package, and I kept them.
But which one would cause the problem I’m having? 
Well, went along with the downgrading thing, and now none of the YaST commands work…
If I go to Install Software, I get the error…
Error while creating client module sw_single
I also have an update for Zypper available, but I get the dependency error of…
zypper-0.11.9-0.1.i586 requires libzypp.so.424, but this requirement cannot be provided
To add to that, I have an alert on the bottom Gnome panel telling me that I have to restart the computer (which I did and nothing happened).
Looks like 1 giant cycle: I can’t upgrade Zypper because I can’t access YaST, but Zypper is too low of a version…and I can’t update it now…
Hmmm…I guess I’m just going to have to reinstall OpenSUSE 11.0 again.
If anyone has any other ideas that will solve this problem, please mention them: it would be much easier than reinstalling at this point.
Your problem is already know : you have mixed some factory repo with the 11.0 stable one (repo 2 and 3).
Remember to never do that, if you want to avoid some pain in the future. 
PS: Don’t 1-click-install Factory stuff too.
Okay, so just simply install only the STABLE versions of packages from now on?
Not exactly : do not mix repo of different openSUSE version (Factory repo with 11.0, or 11.0 repo with 10.3 repo, …).
Package depends of other specific version packages, and the dependancy solver check at rules of each package to install them with their respective depandancies.
If you introduce some ‘false’ rules (other repo, with same rules but for other version package), you break the chain and your system too.
Okay, so don’t install general repositories, like Factory reps?
Because the Zaitor repository has a Factory, and a 11.0 version, so the 11.0 version would be fine to install?
(Sorry for all the questions, just trying to be positive and keep this from happening again.)
Thank you again.
“Do not mix versions” explains it all. “Factory” is the name of the development version… that is different from the 11.0 version.
openSUSE Build Service can build packages for different versions, but you should install only packages for your version. If you are using the 11.0 version… yes, “the 11.0 version would be fine to install”.
But, everybody can create a package in openSUSE Build Service. And “home:XXXX” are personal repositories… don’t expect packages from them to work, don’t expect them to not work, don’t expect anything from them.
Okay, thank you.
That definitely cleared it up.
Just wanted to be sure so I didn’t have to format…again.
