http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173736 Bug ID: 1173736 Summary: GLIBC-2.26 used by OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 is old and not letting recent packages install Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: 64bit OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: anatomist.noelectrons@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 seems to come with and compile its packages against GLIBC-2.26 which is release in August 2017. Looks like many packages available from third parties have been using later versions of GLIBC (>= 2.29). One particular package I encountered a problem with is 'vlc media player' provided by OpenSUSE repos. It installs fine, but requires 'vlc-codecs' to play many media types. When I try to install 'vlc-codecs' provided by 'VideoLanClient' or in the 'packman' repositories, they are using 'vlc-codecs (3.0.11-4.2)' which was compiled against GLIBC-2.29 and complains of the dependency. This is but one example of a package that doesn't work properly (that worked well in Leap 15.1). There seems to many other packages like this. This bug report might be similar to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173734 but for a different package. This same issue is also causing 'gstreamer' when trying to use 'libav' codecs. If you need further information on this, please let me know. Thank you, Reddy -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
