Hi, Unfortunately, it's all about patents... Only way to survive this right now is to pin Packman repos and stick to then ~at all costs.
Cheers, Damian

Problem with zypper dup that sometimes have hick-ups with two conflicting Mesa versions available.
Why is there a MESA version in the packman repos if opensuse provides one too? To be clear I am talking about the Tumbleweed repos.
I recall some graphic card reason, but it is a recall that comes remotely and long time ago. So since this recently caused me some trouble because of shifting repo here and there I wanted to understand. Someone can maybe educate me on this. I do not think that patent rights can be an issue here. I just have to decide which Mesa should I use and I do not have any base for discrimination between the two.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. this is a re-invoice of the very message. The first and second vanished, possibly due to a spam filter.
Ok. My own filters did put this mail in the wrong postbox. Hmmm, filtering is difficult. I am quite shocked that there are even problems with mesa now. Quite crazy. Is there any article / discussion on what is actually the issue? I would be interested to understand.
