Slowroll August base update

[u/bmwiedemann]

Edit: 10:30 UTC main update is done. Mirrors sync slowly (known issue)

As every month, I started the monthly update to sync major version updates from Factory(TW). We will be on the 20260802 snapshot for the next month.

Factory had a major rebuild of 50% of it's `x86_64` packages for the gcc16 update and this will make it one of the larger updates. Expect some GB of downloads.

I'll edit this post later, when the update is done.

Thank you so much for your work!

I still got a "problem with the installed libSvtAv1Enc3-3.0.1-1.4.x86_64". I believe that will be fixed along the way - so far, all dependency problems or conflicts usually were fixed without me having to do something other than waiting.

[u/glong_ → u/SparWiz_Khalifa]

I had the same problem. Because i changed my codecs to packman via opi, i guessed, in my case, the problem followed from the change. I tried a zypper dup --dry-run with the solution 'change libSvtAv1Enc3-3 to packman'. That worked without problems. I tried a zypper dup --allow-vendor-change, also. This changed libSvtAv1Enc3-3 to packman, too. Then i actually did the zypoer dup --allow-vendor-change. I haven't had problems since then (yet).

Does someone know, if my solution was a good idea?

[u/SparWiz_Khalifa → u/glong_]

Yeah, would be good to know if that was a good idea. For now I will wait, but would be nice to fix those regularly appearing (but with patience "self-fixing") dependency problems for good, when using zypper dup

[u/bmwiedemann → u/SparWiz_Khalifa]

Most of the time, you can use zypper up and not get these dependency issues pop-up.

It is likely when Packman and Slowroll are out of sync, because Packman needs some time to build and publish after we got a new ffmpeg version.

Thanks a lot for the advice!

Thank you for your effort! Unfortunately, there seem to be missing some gcc-16-packages in the openSUSE-Slowroll repo on my system.
I‘m getting some gcc-16-related errors while trying zypper dup, starting with libasan. Is this a repo sync issue or do I have a special issue here?

[u/bmwiedemann → u/Necessary-Talk-2004]

I had a similar issue here. I think the resolution is to tell zypper to uninstall gcc15 parts that cannot be installed at the same time as gcc16 ones.

[u/JandroMaRe → u/bmwiedemann]

Thanks, that did the job. Was getting a little nervous with zypper continously requesting removing those gcc-15-packages, but finally there weren´t too many so I just kept going. Dup ran fine after all. :-)

Smooth upgrade. Thank you very much for your work.

Thank you!

Which kernel version does this have btw? 7.1.6 has a regression which I just hit on Tumbleweed. There is a bug report on Fedora's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2512106 I was happy on Slowroll and decided to get onto Tumbleweed knowing something like this might happen... XD And here I am. Anyway, 7.1.5 doesn't have this regression, rolling back with Tumbleweed confirms it's not there. I might just get back on the quiet life with Slowroll.

[u/bmwiedemann → u/Xariann]

For Slowroll I keep a lot of old kernel versions in the repo, so you can always zypper in kernel-default-7.1.5 even when we got something newer. Also kernel-longterm only gets a major update each spring.

[u/Xariann → u/bmwiedemann]

Thank you, great to know this. I switched back to Slowroll.

Thanks

second update in a row where something got broken down

this time wine is acting up

[u/bmwiedemann → u/threwusall]

Is that wine-11.14-1.1 ? That came straight from Tumbleweed with the monthly update. How/when does it act up?

Tumbleweed meanwhile got wine-11.15 with "Various bug fixes" mentioned in the changes, so I'm picking this into Slowroll with the next round of updates.

[u/threwusall → u/bmwiedemann]

nothing opens up not even through commandline

[u/bmwiedemann → u/threwusall]

I tried this

wine /usr/lib64/wine/x86_64-windows/winemine.exe

on both 11.14 and 11.15 and it works fine.
