Those packages come from different repository (strictly speaking, vendor) with higher version number. Neither "zypper up" nor "zypper dup" switch vendor by default. "zypper (d)up --allow-vendor-change" would replace them.
I did a # zypper dup --from packman and all the codecs and vlc packages, etc.. were switched to packman versions, but now I get the same "updates will NOT be installed:" list because the oss repo version is now considered to be NEWER than packman due to naming convention difference, e.g. ---+----------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------+---------------- i+ | libavcodec58_134 | package | 4.4-pm154.2.5 | x86_64 | packman v | libavcodec58_134 | package | 4.4-150400.1.13 | x86_64 | Main Repository But, packman installs with a priority of 90 (which I understand) which is why the first "updates will NOT be installed:" list was populated, but then after doing the vendor change the "updates will NOT be installed:" list is again populated with the same packages due to package version being interpreted as newer in oss. Seems like a Hobson's Choice. But at least with the packman packages involved there is a codec benefit. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
