As 70% of my PCs will no longer be supported by openSUSE Leap next spring, I decided to begin upgrading them to Tumbleweed before that happens. The first went fine, except for this very retired dependency. As a result, TDM greeter opens, but it errors instead of starting any selection.

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libImath-3_1.so.29()(64bit)' needed by the to be installed trinity-tdelibs-14.1.4-1.osstw.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install trinity-tdelibs-14.1.4-1.osstw.x86_64 Solution 2: break trinity-tdelibs-14.1.4-1.osstw.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

I went ahead and force installed trinity-tdelibs, "breaking" it, and it works. I have no idea what functionality may be missing on account of the absent dep. It might be nice to know. TDM and TDE session seem fine.
