    15.1 was actually a mistake.  I have Tumbleweed 15.2 downloaded   
   6/4/2020   
   Since I posted, I went ahead and installed the updates ignoring the   
   warnings.  They were all associated with 'ffmpeg.'   The system took   
   care of most of it in switching vendors for certain files, downgrading   
   .2 to .1 on others.  What I was left to do was delete the orphaned   
   files. under Yast.  In any case it all seems to have been corrected.   
   There were 8 problem files.  I think (???) the system took the best   
   options in their view.   
      
   15.2 Tumbleweed is my entry back into opensuse linux.  I have a smooth   
   running 11.4 on an older machine (single core processor).  I got this   
   new desktop specifically for an opensuse upgrade.  Many new things and   
   still learning.   
   Thanks for answering
