I recall mentioning not too long ago about the dependency errors which keep coming up in 13.1 - but I don't remember in which list I mentioned it nor do I remember what the answer (if any) was.
I raise the issue again because I just cannot fathom what the heck I am supposed to do to resolve these dependency problems which YaST keeps spitting out at me. I am trying to get VLC to play not only Blu-ray files but now I found out that it won't even play files downloaded from YouTube. All files are playable in 12.3 but NOT in 13.1 - and I cannot figure out why. I don't know for blu-ray and youtube, but this is what I did. I only added this VideoLan repo: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/13.1/
Please note that I had to completely uninstall all VLC packages before installing them from the VideoLan repo anew. Otherwise, yast would have run into similar dependency issues.
Have a nice day, Berny
Thanks Berny. As you would have seen I do have the videolan repo enabled - but I had the wrong name for it according to your msg. Now this is "funny" because until today YaST or zypper did not have any problems in updating the info for this repo (the name of which I had is shown in the URL I provided in my OP). But never mind.....strange things are happening in this installation of 13.1..... (I installed 13.1 on my ThinkPad without a problem and then I added my wife as a User on the system. Both my wife and I use the same apps [like Firefox, Thunderbird,...] and play the same games. However, 2 of the games we play come up with an error message that "suitable font was not found" in her home directory while the exact same games are work perfectly OK for me. Eh, openSUSE is becoming more and more like...... I won't mention the name......)
