I tried to 'zypper dup' from openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230508 to current (20230510):
Computing distribution upgrade... 2 Problems: Problem: problem with the installed libsox3-14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137.x86_64 Problem: problem with the installed sox-14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed libsox3-14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137.x86_64 Solution 1: install libsox3-14.4.2-6.1.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE replacing libsox3-14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137.x86_64 from vendor http://packman.links2linux.de Solution 2: keep obsolete libsox3-14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137.x86_64
Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c/d/?] (c): s [...]
I see the same and it is your choice which to do. I prefer packman versions, so I choose to wait for packman to update "solution 2". sometimes it takes a day or three.
you loose nothing by waiting. the reason I prefer packman here is due to restrictions on video and audio due to copyrites.
Ah, thanks. I'm glad I asked. I was assuming the obvious thing was to let the vendor change.
It is. sox for Tumbleweed does not exist in Packman, nor does it exist in PBS. The package was not changed for several years, and the reason it suddenly springs out is that spec file was cleaned up in Tumbleweed.
Wow, OK. But, it shouldn't have been obvious to me because I didn't know that those packages had been dropped from Packman. Now, I have belatedly checked and yes, the installed packages came from packman and packman doesn't contain them anymore: # zypper if libsox3 |grep -i vendor Vendor : http://packman.links2linux.de # zypper if sox |grep -i vendor Vendor : http://packman.links2linux.de # zypper se -s --match-words libsox3 sox S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository ---+---------------+---------+----------------------+--------+---------------------- i+ | libsox3 | package | 14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137 | x86_64 | (System Packages) v | libsox3 | package | 14.4.2-6.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS) | python39-sox | package | 1.4.1-1.12 | noarch | Main Repository (OSS) | python310-sox | package | 1.4.1-1.12 | noarch | Main Repository (OSS) | python311-sox | package | 1.4.1-1.12 | noarch | Main Repository (OSS) i+ | sox | package | 14.4.2-1599.7.pm.137 | x86_64 | (System Packages) v | sox | package | 14.4.2-6.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS) | sox-devel | package | 14.4.2-6.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS) In the future, I can check this available info. Thanks, Andrei. What is "PBS", though? So, running zypper dup again and choosing the vendor change: [...] The following 2 packages are going to be downgraded: libsox3 sox The following 2 packages are going to change vendor: libsox3 http://packman.links2linux.de -> openSUSE sox http://packman.links2linux.de -> openSUSE [...] Is it true that versions of the "same" package from two different vendors are not comparable, and that therefore, "downgraded" here doesn't mean anything? -- Robert Webb
