My view is the best way to solve a dependency problem is to never encounter one, and by sticking with the 4 repositories I recommend (OSS, non-OSS, Update and Packman) one goes a long ways toward achieving that. This will IMHO save signifcantly on both functional and dependency problems. On the occasion where one has identified a package from a repository that is NOT one of those 4, then I recommend adding the repository, installing the application, and then IMMEDIATELY removing the 5th repository. And one and ONLY one 3rd party repository, which is Packman. Those are the 3 official repositories: OSS, Non-OSS, and Update. Hence I always recommend users stick with 4 and only 4 software repositories. Also note many other 3rd party repositories will package multimedia applications that may be incompatible with Packman, videolan and indeed with the baseline official openSUSE.

Note that packages packaged by videolan are often incompatible with packages packaged by Packman and visa versa. Apologies.ĭid you take a look at Reddwarf's 10 step guide (ie the first post): Check your multimedia problem in ten steps - openSUSE Forums I confess I can not understand your post.
