Handling "Not Available Problems" using zypper dup

[Paul R Schmidtbleicher]

System: Tumbleweed
Looking for advice on "zypper dup" when installation problems are
presented and the main issue is that to install a particular package it
says something it needs cannot be provided.
At this time there are three such problems. One option is (s) or skip
which I assumed it meant just don't install that package. However, after
skipping all three the 3 problems just repeat.
If I try option 1 or 2 its presents even more installation problems.
It seems that the package it needs may be available on <opensuse.org-oss>
but is not installable. I finally his the "c" option to cancel the
upgrade.
Meanwhile YAST is telling me there are 1085 new updates (patches from
what I have learned)
Looking for advice . . . So far I'm choosing no upgrade.
Paul

I would suggest to post on the opensuse mail list, but pasting actual
error sequence from the terminal, not your description.


Meanwhile, try "zypper refresh" before the dup.

Cheers, Carlos.

Hi
Unless refresh is disabled for the repositories it does it before the
dup, but maybe force a refresh (zypper ref -f).

@OP, I always add verbosity to see more dup info;

zypper -vvv dup

It could also have been in transition for the next snapshot release
(20211119), normally if having issues, wait an hour or so and try again.

Hi
Sounds like you have non standard repositories active.....

I see;
Repository : Main Repository (OSS)
Name : libsnmp40
Version : 5.9.1-1.1

Repository : Main Repository (OSS)
Name : snmp-mibs
Version : 5.9.1-1.1

I don't see any libQt5WebKit5 packages...

Can you paste to say https://susepaste.org/ the output from;

zypper lr -d

I suspect, like Malcomn, that your repository list is problematic.
Please do:

zypper lr --details > repolist.txt

susepaste -n "Paul" -t "Repo list " -e 10080 repolist.txt

And post here the resulting URL. The text will be uploaded for a week.
You may have to install "susepaste" command first. If you can not, then
use copypaste on the web page.

Hi
So can you show some information on those two qt5 packages (I suspect
the repo is @System or the Brave browser repo)

If the brave repo, then you need to talk to them....

Additional Info:
1. The repositories are pretty much the default that were set-up with
the original installation of Tumbleweed in June of 2020
2. For additional media stuff Packman & libdvdccs were added
3. When the original Packman Repository was off line a mirror site was
suggested which I added labeling it "PackmanMirror"
4. The second "pane" in the susepaste readout was my attempt to copy &

No, the paste is perfect. Just click in "raw" view to see it, and
increase the width of the window.

The only strange repo is the "brave-browser" repo.
The question is, what is wanting libQt5Gui. "@System" doesn't say much.

Try:

rpm -qi libQt5WebKit5
rpm -qi libQt5WebKit5-imports

Mine is Tumbleweed so I assume I would use zypper -vvv dup

However, further action will have to wait for tomorrow ZZZZ's are calling

bp153? Not lp153?

Are you pasting commands and results here, or typing?

Anyway, that's seems a Leap 15.3 package, and I suspect that is the one
wanting strange updates.

Zypper is now upgrading 1381 (it says) packages; 10 new; and deleting a
few others. ITS WORKING!

Thanks for all your help! I am learning a bunch. All the zypper

No it isn't.

[Andrew]

I have been away recently and have not read all of the mails in this
thread, but if you want the Brave Repo it is:
https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/x86_64/

I also have libQt5WebKit5 installed. No idea why.

If those answers do not match the questions, ignore.
Oh, and I have pretty much stopped using Brave - it is not as
configurable as I would wish. "Delete History" functions which are
trivial under Firefox (or Seamonkey) are a major PITA under Brave.
