About searching a new version of Clementine I would say that is fun that a user which attempt to install the Multimedia's repository version of Clementine is invited to install a specific libGLEW (the 1.7) that then causes the error: it seems an out-of-sync of the proposed packages which is also not revealed when running a "zypper ve".
You have to find who is packager and warn him about error, as it is runtime error that did not appear at a build time. Problem with packages is that packagers often use their skills on a software that they don't use, or use only sporadically. Packaging is not a trivial knowledge that everyone can acquire in a lazy afternoon session. This makes number of people having that skill much smaller then number of different software titles that have to be packaged. Consequently it leads to packages that build fine, but fail when you try to run software. Packager have no idea about the problem, unless someone takes time and report a problem. They usually have skills to discern between packaging problem, which is openSUSE problem, and upstream problem, which is usually bug, and you get solution as fast as possible.
Happy new year!
