  1. Play an mp4 file with Totem

  2. It asks me to install gstreamer-plugins-good version 1.0.10-2.1.4
    BUT apparently I alread have it installed!

    zypper se -is gstreamer-plugins-good

    i | gstreamer-plugins-good | package | 1.0.10-2.1.4 | x86_64 | openSUSE-13.1-Oss
    i | gstreamer-plugins-good | package | 1.0.10-2.1.4 | x86_64 | openSUSE 13.1-1.10

  3. If I let Totem install them anyway, I would be told:

Any clue how to play the .mp4 files?

P.S. Posting in English due to some bugs in IME.

The problem is:

You have two gstreamer-plugins-good installed, one from DVD and one from online oss repository.

So please uninstall this package and install it from OSS solely. :joy:

不那么容易呀，看来把gstreamer-plugins-good移除不指定移走哪个源的行不通，因为依赖太重：

試过加–force -r的办法也不行：

报 bug 吧，然后贴链接在这里。

我个人可以保证没有手动安装过 gstream-plugins-good 包，所以重复包是系统自动更新引起的。这个问题如果真是重复包所致，就太明显了，我都不信没人报过，晚些时候回家有翻墙代理时去找找 bug 清单，真没人报我再报。

竟然 没有找到有人报过，所以我新了一个。

This problem is changed to a different one, after a few days’ struggle.

Now the problem is: totem keep asking for gstreamer-plugins-libav 1.2.1-2.2 which is already installed.

How do I go from one problem to the other?

  1. go to opensuse-community.org/Restricted_formats/13.1 and run the ymp
  2. You will be asked a lot of times, always say Yes / Trust
  3. you will be shown a list of conflicts. For every question, choose the one starts with the word ‘install’
  4. Now you see Totem asks for gstreamer-plugins-libav 1.2.1-2.2. it is veritablly installed.

Struggle, struggle, struggle…
