I keep getting notified that a security update is available for python and postfix. However, when I click the update button, I get the following error:

patch:esound-138.noarch conflicts with pavucontrol.i586 < 0.9.6-4.1 provided by pavucontrol-0.9.6-0.pm.1.i586
"pm" in the release number of package pavucontrol tells me you are using Packman.
Would some kind soul tell me what I need to do to clear this thing?
High Level: Patch sound-138 has some dependencies (requires) which are conflict with the requires from Packman package pavucontrol. I guess pavucontrol has a requires "==" or "<=" on certain package version, while the package has a requires ">=" on higher package version in the mentioned patch. Without further information (which product are you using) I could only guess. I assume you are using openSUSE 11.0, in this case pavucontrol is part of the mentioned patch. Update provides <package name="pavucontrol" arch="i586" version="0.9.6" release="4.1"> Not using pavucontrol from Packman but the one from the distribution will help in this case. If you are using 3rd party repositories it is not always possible to avoid conflicts. -- Harald Müller-Ney, Project Manager Maintenance Coordination SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Phone: +49 (0) 911 74053130 Mobile: +49 (0) 179 2287009 Fax: +49 (0) 911 74053575 eMail: hmuelle@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
