I have deleted some apps (polkit and others), then want to reinstall them again(zypper up):
The result:
File ‘./Multimedia/x86_64/libXNVCtrl-340.76-1.37.x86_64.rpm’ not found on medium ‘http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/’
and more other 10 errors.
Nothing happened…
Any idea?
HELP command **zypper --help **
Using zypper se libXNVCtrl
shows vendor is packman
check packman shows in your result from **zypper lr -d **
IF not there you need add, see details on page: https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories
IF packman there try zypper up
or try zypper inr
Remember to check with zypper ps after each update, so know if need log out then back in, or restart.
When finished check to see if anything you want was not re-installed automatically, may need manual install.
You need to black list any fundamental app you have removed. The system wants to always have the default apps as defined in the base patterns of the distro unless you black list. In Yast find the app and mark never install.
Personally think it is a bad idea to remove polkit. since this touchs many fundamental security processes and the results may not be to your liking or what you expect.
That file indeed does not exist… You can always verify by opening the link in a browser, for example the following to look for the missing file
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Multimedia/x86_64/libXNVCtrl-340.76-1.37.x86_64.rpm
So, the question is why are you even looking for that file? Just because it was there before isn’t necessarily a good enough reason to want it again.
You can do the same analysis for your other 10 files.

In this case not for me were missing files but for the zypper.
I don’t think that any files from a Multimedia repo should be required to run zypper, if that is what you are saying.
If you’re saying that zypper is complaining about unable to install a package because of missing dependencies, then you have to describe which package you’re trying to install.
BTW - I’m unclear how this might relate to a “zypper up.”
Maybe you have to describe very exactly what you’ve done.
