what's the "right way" to fix this ConsoleKit update/dependency, or make it go away?

This is a bug , do "zypper in zypper libzypp" and try again.

zypper & libzypp are certainly already installed, but ok, zypper in zypper libzypp Reading installed packages... 'zypper' is already installed. 'libzypp' is already installed.

Usually it is solved using YaST Online Update (YOU), which will update zypper/libzypp, restart and let you finish the rest, but it should be possible with "zypper in -f zypper libzypp". Though, I didn't checked that as I'm already past that point, of updating zypper and libzypp.

There is a new bug reported, just about ConsoleKit: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=412794

Add your problem to that bug report. If it is not related they will tell you to open new bug report.

I noted the bug -- and thought to email the bug-author to get his comments before butting-in. It's been ~ a couple of days, and noone's responded to the bug, and I haven't heard from the bug-author. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

might i ask -- a bug in what, specifically? Zypper? ConsoleKit? Yast? something else? since the repeated "(re)install zypper" advice here is going nowhere, if you have a reference to said "bug", i'll engage directly there. thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/C]:

The solver tells you that it can't install the patch to fix the ConsoleKit package, so it asks you if it is ok to deinstall ConsoleKit. You shouldn't do that, of course, ConsoleKit is needed by many other packages.

Basically this means that the update repository is broken, it doesn't contain a newer version of "ConsoleKit-32bit". It'll be fixed soon, hopefully.

Spoke to soon. The "do not keep..." line above indicates that you have locked the "ConsoleKit-32bit" package. Please remove the lock.
