after disabling the gnome repo I still getthet message but the yast
software module comes up OK. Same after RE-enabling the gnome repo.

But I'm back to somethinglike the other post about updatye refusal:

That "update refusal" you say doesn't have any importance, it is normal.

Anyway, upload "zypper lr --details" to susepaste, post the link here
(to avoid line wrap). Or post here if you can use loooong lines.

The "name" column is very strange, I've never seen one like that.



What's in leap-extrapacks?

You do not need the "debug" repos, unless you have an specific reason.


You are missing:

repo-openh264
Open H.264 Codec (openSUSE Leap)
http://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/openSUSE_Leap/

You are also missing the source repos, but they are normally disabled.
And you don't have packman, but that's your choice.


The gnome apps repo I'm not familiar with it, but I guess that I would
assign it a higher priority (lower number).


Run this:

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \
| sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \
| egrep -v "openSUSE Leap 15\.5|openSUSE_Leap_15.5|"\
"\-lp153|SUSE Linux Enterprise 15|openSUSE\ Leap\ 15.5" | less -S


Each package that get listed there, you find out why you have it, and
decide if it is correct or not. If it says 15.4, 15.3, 15.2... update it
or get rid of it.

chickenshit, hardly ever used anymore but there was a time when many
packages that I cannot imagine life without were not is the Suse repos.

I usually do, but the list you saw was from an instance when I had just
added community repos but packman wasn't in the offerings yet for some
reason. It was after I edited the repos manually to 15.5 that I got in
in. When the box thought itself to be 15.4 then trying to add community
repos did not include packman or nvidia for some reason.

This one is new. I don't know exactly what for.

And you don't have packman, anyway.

Either there was an error in the quotes or backslashes, or there is no
wrong package at all, which I have never seen.

Try again:


rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \

The last two lines are a single line that wrapped.

Mostly I just disable the nvidia repo on account that far too often
their crappy repo is either slower than a dead fucking dog or it just
plain grinds to a halt and if I happen to be using zypper at the time
that's very likely to crash the whole parade! Remind me never to buy
anything that smells of nvidia again.

OK it was 3 32 bit packages, I returned status to do not install so if
anything needs them as a depend it'll get them

I agree with not buying nvidia again, but the repository should not
impede your working. And not having updated something there that should,
can harm your system.
