Greetings team,
It would appear that I'm back a lot sooner than expected, but this time
around *not* for the regular "nothing provides (package)" issues during dup
operations (also, the recent problems seem to have been fixed in the
meantime). Or at least that's what I would think.
For the first time, I'm seeing zypper trying to *obsolete* a package during
dup. The package in question seems to be
"pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2-1.6.9-2.1.x86_64".
I've not dealt with this type of error until now. Is this also a kind of
error that eventually goes away after things get back in sync, or does it
actually require user input? I noticed the only given options are either
performing a vendor switch, or keeping the obsolete package. Here's the
full output:
"sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup
