David:
I am having success using Anthropic's Claude Opus v4.8 and it found the
problem
We've (opensuse forum and me) have been chasing bunny trails into the
wrong thickets assuming that the libiff.so.7 file was the problem, it's
not. And it's not gnome files, and it's not glibc problems, but the
mismatch was the clue.
The real problem was with the /usr/local libraries and misleading
entries in the ld.so.conf file.
Opus found that I had compiled glib v2.80 into the /usr/local library
folder from the past and ALL my commands including system ones are going
to that folder for the ldd requirements (silly me)
I have to very carefully move those libraries so that only the system
libraries will get worked with. I was too loose with the "ldconfig"
command and did NOT realize that keeping the system folders in the right
priority order when being searched is key to the linux system
functioning correctly. (this is my own fault, from things in the past)
Apparently the opensuse-migration-tool IS fine, but my ld.so.conf and
ld.so.conf.d files are messed up and royally messing up the upgrade.
This is a very valuable catch by Opus, and I am now developing a scheme
to prevent this from happening in the future.
I have hopes now that my fourth upgrade attempt will succeed.

Hello:
Does anyone in the group use opensuse linux? I am currently running Leap
15.6 but the upgrade to 16.0 has hit major speedbumps
If you do, please let me know, as I want to talk about migration issues.
The software migration tool is broken, but no one seems to know how to
fix it. The newer agama installer wants to wipe my disk drive clean and
wouldn't even let me quit, when I tried to abort this very aggressive
maneuver.
