I got the same a few weeks ago, it's starting to get frustrating.

IIRC, I had to install VLC from a specific repo as the official one didn't have all the codecs, could that be the reason of the issue?

Edit: someone else having the issue on the OpenSUSE forums:

Disto packages had issues with unofficial repos like forever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Indeed, but this is unfortunate to not have official repos supporting AMD GPUs (Mesa) and H265

Found this: https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1dgf9xy/packman_repo_and_vlc_error_with_zypper_dup/

Consensus is to wait a few days for the packman repos to catch up.

Use MPV, I can recommend Celluloid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

MPV could be an option. What is Celluloid?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A GUI in GTK3 I think. Very well packaged as Flatpak too, Wayland native, portal support, uses Pipewire

Thanks!

I had a look at zypper dup, I basically can either switch to packman.links2linux.de, or switch to OpenSUSE, for each of the conflits.

Which one is better?

Some discussion on Reddit, doesn't seem to have any specific consensus: https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/10um85r/do_i_really_need_packman_will_it_increases_the/

How about using some isolation? nix-env, distrobox, or flathub (official builds only?). I have listed them in my own (personal) order of preference.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Thank you for your suggestion, I ended up doing that in the end. Removed VLC from the repo, used the Flatpak. Seems to works fine now!
