vlc: you have to decide, where you get vlc from : Either packman (version 2.1.2-186.14) or vlc repo. Choose one repo, disable the other and in yast switch system packages to
that repo. I do not completely agree with the second paragraph :-)
I installed the VLC software from the VLC repo, and PackMan is still enabled. YaST or zypper do not mix up the packages, because I never ever use "zypper dup" unless I really want to upgrade to another version of openSUSE. Yes, that's correct. If you install VLC and all its dependencies from the videolan repo, and different things from packman, it works. The problem is when the toolchain is mixed. But then the question is, if everything installed from packman will work...

A good question. I have everything from packman installed and vlc doesn't work :-( . My personal take on this is that once Pascal Bleser left a great void was created - and there is too much reliance on 'community support' which in reality consists of only one "supporter" and if s/he gets run over by a bus then the whole 'operation' relating to that one vital cog in the wheel collapses. I put the Tumbleweed project in this category. If Larry falls under a bus then Tumbleweed is no more as far as I am able to determine. I am not hexing Larry in any way- Heaven forbid! - but is there anyone to take his place - Patrick perhaps? Ignoring the above scenarios, what happens if some malcontent who has a grudge against openSUSE or Linux in general starts contributing as a member of "the community"? OK, the kernel is pretty safe but what about other apps used in openSUSE? Yep, I am being paranoid - but I am expressing a genuine concern in light of my hassles with vlc in openSUSE 13.1 and what has been stated so far re the dependency errors between enabled repos from packman, openSUSE, videolan.
