Zypper Update Error with MySQL

[jimbo2150]

I am suddenly getting an error when trying to update: I have MySQL installed instead of MariaDB. akonadi is complaining it needs MariaDB (never had an issue before). Is there some way to fix this - either use MySQL or another database?

Problem: the to be installed akonadi-24.02.0-1.1.x86_64 requires 'mariadb', but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: the installed mysql-community-server-8.0.36-1.sl15.x86_64 requires 'mysql-community-client >= 8.0.11', but this requirement cannot be provided

Problem: the to be installed akonadi-24.02.0-1.1.x86_64 requires 'mariadb', but this requirement cannot be provided
  not installable providers: mariadb-11.2.3-2.5.x86_64[databases]
                   mariadb-11.2.3-2.1.x86_64[download.opensuse.org-oss]
                   mariadb-11.2.3-2.1.x86_64[https-download.opensuse.org-75959030]
                   mariadb-11.2.3-2.1.x86_64[openSUSE-20230714-0]
 Solution 1: deinstallation of akonadi-server-23.08.4-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 2: deinstallation of mysql-community-client-8.0.36-1.sl15.x86_64
 Solution 3: keep obsolete akonadi-server-23.08.4-1.2.x86_64
 Solution 4: break akonadi-24.02.0-1.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

mysql-community-server-8.0.36-1.sl15.x86_64

This is no Tumbleweed package. So you created the problem yourself by installing incompatible packages…

Additionally you have a messed up repo list by 1-Click installations…

Thanks, I was able to fix it by removing the packages and repository.

Would you happen to know how to install MySQL on tumbleweed without the SLES repository? There doesn’t seem to be a package provided by OpenSUSE.

MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL.
Most distros moved to it some years ago due to some (licensing?) issues.
