"Since you are pulling from the 15.2 repo, I would go the downloaded rpm route which /avoids having to add a repo you don't want thereafter/." This isn't recommended either, since a package built against Leap 15.2 would look for the symbols provided by lib* packages from 15.2 in the installed system. Often, this would lead to dependency problems if the updated libfoo pkg, say in an installed TW or TW repository, does not provide the exact same symbol. It could also lead to the application crashing outright, often with the error "could not find symbol complicatedlongnamefoo".
Right. I think my mistake has been to assume that such inexperienced users would use the forums rather than this list. I've on occasion needed to borrow an rpm (or compile) from a different version repo (say, in the case where that's the only alternative for a new printer driver), but like folks here I can easily deal with a problem should it arise. Alas, as the "ass" cliche teaches once again, assumptions are often unwise. Lesson re-learned.
At least I don't have dementia after all. I could have sworn that there was a TW package, turns out there was. Atri just trying to mess with my old brain. :) Ha ha, didn't mean to. I am sorry if I had you questioning reality there for a while ;-)
