So, I am trying to do zypper dup on tumbleweed, and it failed at this package: btrfsmaintenance-0.4.2-1.1.noarch
Yes, I had the same problem, and like you, I do not use BTRFS. What I did: First, because it was so far into the upgrade, I did not want to lose what it had done. I crossed my fingers and used Alt-SysRq-SUB to reboot (If SysRq is not marked on your keyboard, it is also the PrintScreen key). Thankfully, it was late enough in the install that it booted back up just fine, right into the desktop. YaST will not run, yet, as it is missing a dependency. However, zypper works just fine. I then used zypper se btrfs to get a list of the BTRFS junk (I, too, use ext4, so do not need the BTRFS stuff), then used zypper rm to get rid of the above package and one or two others. After, I added zypper al to lock those packages. I had to re-install GParted, and tell it to "break GParted by ignoring dependency", but that will be no problem. All that happens with GParted as a result is that it cannot create or work on BTRFS file system. Other functions work fine. I then finished up by repeating zypper dup. Everything is working great. -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Member openSUSE Global Moderator openSUSE Contributor YaST Contributor aka Fraser_Bell on the Forums, OBS, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org Fraser-Bell on Github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
