   Paul R Schmidtbleicher to All   
   Conflicts when Upgrading   
   23 May 22 19:28:45   
   
   From: paulrs@foxinternet.net   
      
   Here are three questions:   
        Usually in my upgrades of Tumbleweed, I may have one conflict which I   
   have been selecting, Keep what I have" though obsolete. With the current   
   notification of updates there are 3-5 apparent conflicts - usually because   
   "something cannot be provided" that an upgrade needs.   
   QUESTIONS:   
        (1) Why offer an upgrade when part of its needs cannot be provided?   
        (2) Where would I look elsewhere for the cannot be provided   
   package(s)? (I have the Default Installation Repositories + Packman)   
        (3) In the options offered (usually 1-5) Are they in the order of   
   SOMEONE SMARTER THAN I recommending (i.e. #1 is recommended as best)?   
     Thanks in advance,   
       Paul (I LOVE Tumbleweed!)
