So it seems that right now someone is in the process of doing some upgrade work in KDE:Qt. Whoever it is has turned publishing off, which usually is a good idea...
...but in this case it leads to hundreds of packages in KDE:Framework, KDE:Extras, and KDE:Applications being rebuilt, and being published, and because publishing of KDE:Qt is turned off, being unable to be installed due to missing dependencies. The really bad part is, that *some* packages from those newly built ones *will* be installed, and some others will be downgraded to what's in the base distribution, leaving people with a general mish mash of librariy versions and potentially seriously broken desktops.
So ... can someone **please** turn publishing in KDE:Qt back on?
And for next time: whoever disables publishing in KDE:Qt for upgrading it, disable publishing (and building) in KDE:Frameworks5, KDE:Applications, and KDE:Extra.
On the other hand this is why as a project we encourage people to use tumbleweed and not development repositories because we don't guarantee that the later will always be in a working state.
On the third hand, all the stuff I read on the opensuse lists about tumbleweed and its "quirks" is why I'm *not* using tumbleweed. - nvidia and tumbleweed kernels - huge numbers of weird dependencies all of a sudden to name the last two that would have rendered both my computers dead in the water for me. Personally I consider TUMBLEWEED to be the "try if this works" development thing. Also: the openSUSE wiki *and* the KDE website both tell people to use the KDE:* repositories to have the latest official releases. Cheers MH -- Mathias Homann Senior Systems Engineer, IT Consultant.
