Did a small update using yast2 to see if there were any updates missed by zypper, because sometimes there are.
In this case, there were several updates to ffmpeg with a vendor change.
Whoa. Where from? Because opensuse.org does not supply that package. It has to come from packman or videolan. And vendor changes are not allowed automatically for good reasons, unless you actively change that behaviour. I'm looking in YaST right now, and I see no updates to ffmpeg at all.
Yast2 complained about vendor changes to the newer versions, never warning that it was about to remove the installed packages. I told it to not upgrade anything. It went ahead and installed a new, unrelated package and then removed all the ffmpeg and related packages.
There is a tab in yast where you can see what it is actually going to do, package by package.
What is going on? I don't recall it behaving this way before 12.3.
Oh, yes, it has. You have to be very careful what you tell it to do and how. For instance, if it tells you of a package conflict, makes two or three proposals, and you press ESC with the idea of thinking about it later, it decides for you, some times with disastrous results. When you see this, you have to abort completely and restart yast package manager. Or not. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
