The graphical update tool gpk-update-viewer runs into an error that unexperienced users might not understand. "zypper patch --with-optional" would install the patch, changing a bunch of ffmpeg and avcodec related packages from Packman to SUSE LLC, which is most probably not what the users want. "zypper update" skips these updates instead. It is unclear to me why these conflicts are in the patch meta data. It's obviously possible to update the other packages (non-ffmpeg) without breaking any package-level dependencies. Several users have posted about this in the Forum: https://www.opensuse-forum.de/thread/65990-softwareaktualisierung-funktionie... https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/574888-openSUSE-SLE-15-4-2022-296... Is there a deeper reason for creating this artificial conflict? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205456 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205456#c1 --- Comment #1 from Marcus Meissner --- (the respective ffmpeg update was released Oct 26th) The problem here is more that there is overlap between the packagelists between OpenSUSE SLE imports and Packman. Application of the SUSE patch would require a vendor change (flipping all the binaries from Packman over to the SUSE ones). This is a bit messy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Application of the SUSE patch would require a vendor change (flipping all the binaries from Packman over to the SUSE ones).

And this is what users who have the packman packages installed probably don't want. I just wonder about those conflicts. Are they necessary to make the patch work? The biggest issue IMO is that this breaks the graphical updater in a way that's non-obvious to apprentice users. It leaves people like my wife or my daughter totally clueless. Even for me as experienced user it was non-obvious if I could simply deselect this patch and be good (besides ffmpeg, the patchinfo mentioned a lot of KDE updates that I wouldn't want to miss). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
