I get, under versions: 2.8.0-11.3-x86_64 from vendor openSUSE(installed). But the package is still listed under the packman repository, with an option to select 2.8.0-32.5-x86_64. I would like to eliminate all of the references to packman versions of openSUSE(installed) packages.
Don, why should Opensuse break Yast just for you?
Yast lists ALL the sources for any given package from ALL the repositories you have added.
You seem to be asking them not to do that. To eliminate, arbitrarily packages from the list of optional sources based on some unknown magical thinking criteria.
You might as well write Webster and have them drop every 20th word from the dictionary.
If you don't like packages from the packman repository, then go to the Software Repositoriesitem in Yast and Delete, or Disable (uncheck) the Packman repository.
OR, If you want to know in advance how many packages this will affect, Select the Repositories tab In Software Management, then click the Packman Repository on the left side window. ONLY the packman will be shown in the packages window.
Once you uncheck the Enable box for packman in Software Repositories, then return to Spftware manageent, and you will see: Everything from packman that is actually installed will now show in RED making it easy for you to select them and upgrade/downgrade to the Opensuse repository source.
Lots, but not all, of your multimedia packages will have limitations if you do this but at least seeing alternatives won't haunt you any more.
Maybe I misunderstand, but I don't see why you are so fearful of alternative sources being listed, but it really bothers you STOP looking at the versions tab in Yast.
Sorry for mistake. I was worried about all of the packages selected in packman, and how I would upgrade just k3b to packman. I had assumed, I guess incorrectly, that when I told it to do the install, all of the packman packages selected would be installed. I understood that the black check marks in Yast2 indicated that the package was installed. But the packages in the packman listing also have black check marks, even if the openSUSE versions are installed. If I select one with a black check mark and click on it, the check mark changes to a blue up-arrow. AS I stated above, I wanted to install k3b from packman and did not have any confidence what would happen. I use zypper to install k3b, so did not got a chance to perform the experiment. I performed a "zypper lu --all" and reached the same conclusion. Thanks for the clarification, and sorry to waste your time.
