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. In my /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, the variable solver.allowVendorChange is commented out, which means it has its default value, false. So no "zypper up" will pull vlc from Packman repo after I installed the packages from the VLC repo. After adding the VLC repo, I chose (in YaST) Software Management -> View -> Repositories, chose the VLC repo and clicked upon the "Switch system packages" link, hardly visible in the black bar above the package list. This caused some downgrading of some packages, but now I am sure that VLC and all software it depends on are installed from the same source. And it works up to now *knockonwood* :-) Just my experience (built up in the last years, not just now) Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
