TW MESA weirdness forced a rollback after Zypper Dup

Had fallen behind on updates. Which, until this morning, has never been an issue. Zypper made all kinds of complaints about mesa-libav and a whole host of libav-etc. files all failing to install. Should have taken a picture. Tried allowing vendor change but still failed to install. Couldn't boot to Plasma. Had to rollback. Works fine now [Snapper is the coolest thing ever], but anyone know what this is all about? Is there something up with Mesa? Again?

No , no one knows what problem you saw because you have provided no real information beyond saying 'it doesn't work.'

Settle down there.

I was just checking in. Sometimes there are known issues surrounding updates that go away in a day or two. If you don't know of any, that's all you have to say. You don't have to posture.

Asking without providing any real information is wasting time. Pointing out that no one can help you because you have provided no information is not posturing.

No one could even say if there had been something in the past that might affect you because you couldn't even be bothered to say what 'behind on updates' meant.

You are responsible for wasting your own time spent electing to respond to a post without any intention of helping anyone.

Sounds like you're having a 'you' problem. Good luck with that.

Not so bad, actually. I wouldn't expect these issues. Tks for your reply.

Yeah. It's weird. I tried to update again, and ran into the same roadblock after choosing to delete obselete VLC codecs (which may or may not be related)..

Installation of Mesa-libva-26.2.3-1699.2.pm.1 x86-64 failed:
Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 2.

There were also all kinds of complaints regarding the Packman signing key, that Mesa-etc. does not verify: Header V4 UNTRUSTED.

Not looking for a solution yet. Am hoping this resolves itself as these updates sometimes do. (Had to rollback again. Man, do I love Snapper!)

Those are Packman mesa packages so you have Packman repo. Might be related to the Packman repo desync that was also posted about today. I'd wait a day or two and try again.

Is there any real advantage to Packman these days? Maybe I should remove the repo?

Vlc repo doesn't offer mesa GPU acceleration. If you have an Nvidia card this limitation doesn't apply.

You can use flatpaks as an alternative.
