[opensuse] zypper error message
Hi, all. I've recently install 64-bit OpenSuSE 12.3. It's my first experience of SuSE & I'm enjoying it. I recently added the packman repo in order to get the restricted codecs for Chromium & since doing so I see this error message every time I run 'zypper up': 'The following package updates will NOT be installed: gstreamer gstreamer-0_10 gstreamer-0_10-plugin-gnomevfs gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-lang gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer-0_10-utils gstreamer-0_10-utils-unversioned gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good libcdio14 libgstapp-0_10-0 libgstapp-1_0-0 libgstaudio-1_0-0 libgstfft-1_0-0 libgstinterfaces-0_10-0 libgstpbutils-1_0-0 libgstreamer-0_10-0 libgstreamer-1_0-0 libgstriff-1_0-0 libgstrtp-1_0-0 libgstrtsp-1_0-0 libgstsdp-1_0-0 libgsttag-1_0-0 libgstvideo-1_0-0 libiso9660-8 libmjpegutils-2_0-0 libquicktime0 libquvi-scripts libxine2-pulse python-gstreamer-0_10 typelib-1_0-Gst-0_10 typelib-1_0-Gst-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstAudio-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstInterfaces-0_10 typelib-1_0-GstPbutils-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstTag-1_0 typelib-1_0-GstVideo-1_0' I'm figuring there's a conflict somewhere hence the packages can't be installed.

Hi, all.

:-) I have and use other distributions as part of my work/life balance but openSuse is still my favourite :-)

Its not an "error" its a notification.

As you said, you recently installed the packman repo. There are packages that occur both there and elsewhere. As the manual page for zypper says: <qupte> This command will not update packages which would require change of package vendor </quote> There could be other reasons why they are not being installed but they all get back to that. RTFM. The most likely is that they occur in a repo that doesn't have a higher priority than the the repo in which the already installed equivalents come from. If you look at the "# yast2 sw_single" gui screen you can see that repos have priorities and can be enabled and disabled. You can also make a repo There are a number of ways to force change of repository. RTFM. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage_12.2 See also http://doc.opensuse.org/products/draft/SLES/SLES-admin_sd_draft/cha.sw_cl.ht... DO NOT USE 'zypper dup' TO GET AROUND THIS.

OK, lads, I get it. I was just looking for quick heads up & also to test the mailing list community to see how friendly everybody is (I work full-time as a sys admin & am perfectly capable of RTFM).

Phil, I saw the other answers, but i'm not sure they made it clear. Generally this means that you have multiple repositories for packages enabled. Once you install a package from a given repository zypper assumes you want to continue using that repository for that package. Thus the above is basically telling you that those packages have more than one source and the source not in use has a higher packaging number. The trouble is the package number is composed of: Package_name-version-release Version comes from upstream so a newer version should always be an upgrade, but release is a local packaging number and is repository specific. Thus if I branch a 12.3 package that is at release 4 to my home project and just do a simple rebuild, my release number will 1. So comparing release numbers between repos is not meaningful.

Hi, Greg. That explains it perfectly. I figured it was something along those lines, apt does does something not completely dissimilar.
