Greetings.
There appears to be an ongoing issue with system upgrades, this time
related to VLC. Although there have since been more snapshots released,
this is currently still blocking successful operations. Most curiously,
Problem 1 repeats itself after Problem 3:
sudo zypper refresh
[sudo] password for root:
Repository 'Main Update Repository' is up to date.
Repository 'Fonts (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)' is up to date.
Repository 'Main Repository (NON-OSS)' is up to date.
Repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' is up to date.
Repository 'google-chrome' is up to date.
Repository 'Packman' is up to date.
Repository 'Open H.264 Codec (openSUSE Tumbleweed)' is up to date.
All repositories have been refreshed.
sudo zypper dup
