[opensuse] Package won't install
Software Updater is trying to install a package "kdelibs4" but fails on a dependency for "kdebase4-workspace-branding = 11, but this requirement cannot be provided". I suspect this may be due to the added repositories that were added when I installed LibreOffice 4.3, but as I cannot access the repositories in Yast, I can't make any changes there. Any way to fix this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why can't you access the repositories why YaST? Try running it in text mode. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I cannot close Software Updater because of that error and as long as it's running, Yast Software Managment, Software Repositories and Online Update will not run. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Any way to fix this?
Usually it helps to exchange kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE and kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream, or try a different version. For me, version 13.1-2.7 from the KDE:current repo works (with kdelibs4 4.13.3-2.1 also from this repo).

How can I do this, when I'm locked out of the software and repository tools? As long as that updater keeps running I can't do anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can stop the software updater, can't you? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Was going to say the same thing. Just That's what I do. (This thing is somewhat annoying anyway. And potentially a security problem since it run as user but seems to be able to do root things. There should be a switch someplace in Yast to not run it at all. It also erroneously warns of Repository trust problems when a yum repository has pgp signed packages and those packages get updates. It appears to confuse the date on the package with the signature somehow. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

1-Log out as user. 2-Log in as root on a tty. 3-Manage repos manually. 4-Use zypper to update/install/remove packages that are causing trouble or were unavailable while the updater was running. You don't need to run Yast to be able to manipulate repos. Repo management largely consists of what files exist in /etc/zypp/repos.d/. Any repo can be disabled simply by renaming its file there to not end in .repo, instead of flipping its contained enabled= value from 1 to 0 as Yast and Zypper would. New repos can be added by copying e.g. via MC's built-in FTP directly from BS repo mirrors. On 2014-08-11 13:22 (GMT-0400) James Knott composed:
I just rebooted my computer, to see if that would clear the updater problem. Now lots of things no longer work. I can't run stuff in Yast and my dovecot server no longer works! Something in those repositories that were added must be causing major problems, but I have no idea what.
Try updating with 'zypper ref; zypper up' as root logged in on a tty while your regular user is not logged in. If there are conflicts, you'll get choices to make. If that doesn't help, disable the recently added repo and try again. Once you get stability, try again to add back whatever's missing, still with regular user logged out if necessary. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
