I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed on an unused drive, but after following steps 1.1 through 1.3.1 described in
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSE_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Ins...,
step 4 fails as follows:
chestnut:~ # zypper install trinity-desktop Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: 1: the to be installed trinity-desktop-14.1.6-1.osstw.noarch requires 'trinity-tdeedu >= 14.1.6', but this requirement cannot be provided not installable providers: trinity-tdeedu-14.1.6-1.osstw.x86_64[trinity-bin]
Solution 1: do not install trinity-desktop-14.1.6-1.osstw.noarch Solution 2: break trinity-desktop-14.1.6-1.osstw.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): c
My repository configuration is attached. What should I try next?
Choose to break trinity-desktop, as absent tdeedu won't break anything that matters by being absent. It's apparently missing from Trinity's repos. Or, install trinity-tdebase instead of trinity-desktop, which will install a fraction of the whole of Trinity, but give you a working DE with just the basics, from which you can add additional packages you'll actually use. My installs typically start with only trinity-tdebase and trinity-tdm, to which I add several others, such as kmix, ksnapshot, kicker-applets, kpdf, gwenview, ksensors, kcpuload & kcalc.
