Hi, we are getting patching conflict errors when updating our SLES 11 (64-bit) server: “nothing provides libpciaccess0=7.4\_0.11.0 needed by libpciaccess0-devel-7.4\_0.11.0-0.4.6.1.x86\_64” “nothing provides libmysqlclient15=5.0.94 needed by libmysqlclient-devel-5.0.94-0.2.2.1.x86\_64” “nothing provides libldap-2\_4-2=2.4.26 needed by openldap2-devel-2.4.26-0.12.1.x86\_64” The options are: 1) deinstallation of existing packages that conflict with the patches; 2) do not install these patches; and 3) break open the patches by ignoring some of its dependencies. Since these are security patches that we need to apply to keep our server up to date, we cannot choose option 2. Also, the current packages are required for the server to function. If we choose option 1 (deinstall the conflicting packages), can we re-install the packages that we deinstalled, after applying the patches? Also, what does option 3 mean, and what are the consequences of choosing it? Thanks in advance for help that anyone can provide. ## – bhnguyen bhnguyen’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=90807](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=90807) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=450038](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=450038) ---

This repo list looks good. The packages you’re missing should be provided by SLES11-SP1-VMware-Updates, so my guess is that this repository is not properly synced. can you try “sudo zypper ref -f” ? ## – dirkmueller dirkmueller’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=21451](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=21451) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=450038](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=450038) ---
