I found this thread which seems to indicate there's no way to force zypper to pick an option: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-opensuse-60/how-to-pre-select-solutions-1-or-2-in-autoyast-xml-config-file-4175688006/ which is kind of annoying. But maybe --force-resolution is worth a try?I've not tried that option, but I will say that openSuse Tumbleweed seems to hit these broken dependancy problems fairly often. I'm increasingly inclined to say it is too unstable to be worth having in CI, unless it is marked "allow_failure: true" so it doesn't block the pipeline
I actually had an idea for that. There is an option despite what is in
the link (as that one is slightly unrelated I think). I was thinking
earlier about adding --allow-downgrade to all zypper install invocations
in libvirt-ci, but by the time I got to writing the patch it fixed
itself and I could not reproduce it. Just like now with this issue.
There are couple more "Expert options" but I did not think very hard
about using the other ones. Anyway, here's the list:
--allow-downgrade
--no-allow-downgrade Whether to allow downgrading installed resolvables.
--allow-name-change
--no-allow-name-change Whether to allow changing the names of installed
resolvables.
--allow-arch-change
--no-allow-arch-change Whether to allow changing the architecture of
installed resolvables.
--allow-vendor-change
--no-allow-vendor-change
Whether to allow changing the vendor of installed
resolvables.
Should I write the patch for --allow-downgrade?
