Re: TW heads up - kernel firmware fails to install
I was breezing thru the posts here because the other comments were about "LENOVO" and I am running various TW iterations on a Mac. Running zypper dup -l in a Gecko Rolling addition I hit this error in a list of "firmware" updates . . . . I tried "retry" and that failed, then I tried "ignore" and it went through w/o error. Haven't rebooted yet to see if any effects will hit. [CODE]( 92/160) Installing: kernel-firmware-qlogic-20220930-1.1.noarch .........[done] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/firmware/qcom/LENOVO/21BX;634045b4: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system error: kernel-firmware-qcom-20220930-1.1.noarch: install failed error: kernel-firmware-qcom-20220902-1.1.noarch: erase skipped ( 93/160) Installing: kernel-firmware-qcom-20220930-1.1.noarch ..........[error] Installation of kernel-firmware-qcom-20220930-1.1.noarch failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/576367-zypper-dup-failed explains the workaround is remove the installed package, then finish the dup. If you have no hardware depending on qcom firmware, it won't matter what you do or not, as it won't affect booting. Does anything resembling qcom show up in your lspci output? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Larry R:
Might have seen yr post on the list saying the same thing, which, right,
seems "odd" . . . . I chose "i" and other times I've done that zypper
would error out of the whole process, in this case it went through.
Haven't had a chance to reboot and log back into it to see if there is some
problem from it. I wasn't paying rapt attention to the zypper process, but
I thought I did see in the list a bunch of "special attention" commands,
but I just clicked "go" on it, and only the one error showed up.

The fix for me was to zypper rm kernel-firmware-qcom then zypper in kernel-firmware-qcom
Don't know why that works but it does. On 10/7/22 11:34, Fritz Hudnut wrote:
