That's the appropriate package for him. Activating a repo from another release is a dangerous thing to do as you can install other packages by accident, or deity forbids, libraries.
I second this. For the sake of your system, never use a Leap repo on TW and vice versa!
Cheers,
Which is why I wrote:
"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".
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 ;-) Cheers, -- Atri Bhattacharya Space sciences, Technologies and Astrophysics Research (STAR) Institute, Université de Liège, Bât.
