User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build Identifier: On a fresh, less than 24-hour old, installation of Leap 42.1 Gnome, package updater notifies that there are security updates available. One security update is: Security update for libebml, libmatroska openSUSE-2016-37-1 When package updater is run, it fails with the following dialog: Failed to process request. vlc-noX-2.2.1-131.2.x86_64 requires libmatroska.so.6(V_1.4.1)(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided This failure occurs because the version of libmatroska.so.6 installed from the current opensuse repos is 1.4.2-3.3 yet the update is expects 1.4.1. The update is out of sync with the current repo. FWIW, Leap 42.1 was installed (on 2 systems) because recent updates to YaST and GRUB2 for 13.2 completely borked both systems to the point that they could only be recovered by a fresh os install. It strongly appears there is a fundamental systemic update management issue in suse that not resolved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Leap 42.1 Gnome 2. Run package updater when notification of security update arrives 3. Package updater report "Failed to process request." as described in details Actual Results: no security update
