[Linux RPM][26.814.41407] Fedora-only mesa-vulkan-drivers dependency blocks update on openSUSE Tumbleweed
Codex/ChatGPT app version
- Installed:
chatgpt-26.810.52044-1.x86_64 - Offered update:
chatgpt-26.814.41407-1.x86_64
Platform
- openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot 20260812
- x86_64
- zypper/libzypp package manager
Problem
The RPM for version 26.814.41407 has a hard dependency onmesa-vulkan-drivers. That package name is used by Fedora/RHEL, but no
package provides it on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Consequently, zypper cannot update the ChatGPT package:
Problem: nothing provides 'mesa-vulkan-drivers' needed by the to be
installed chatgpt-26.814.41407-1.x86_64
Solution 1: deinstallation of chatgpt-26.810.52044-1.x86_64
Solution 2: keep obsolete chatgpt-26.810.52044-1.x86_64
Solution 3: break chatgpt-26.814.41407-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its
dependencies
The currently installed chatgpt-26.810.52044-1.x86_64 does not requiremesa-vulkan-drivers.
Tumbleweed splits Mesa Vulkan support into packages such aslibvulkan_radeon, libvulkan_lvp, and Mesa-vulkan-device-select; none
provides the exact mesa-vulkan-drivers capability.
Steps to reproduce
- Install the official ChatGPT RPM repository on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
- Install ChatGPT version 26.810.52044.
- Refresh repository metadata after version 26.814.41407 becomes available.
- Run:
``bash``
sudo zypper dup --dry-run
- Observe the unresolved
mesa-vulkan-driversdependency.
Expected behavior
The RPM should use distribution-neutral library/capability dependencies,
rich dependency alternatives that include openSUSE package names, or
distribution-specific RPM metadata.
The update should resolve normally on supported RPM-based distributions
without ignoring dependencies or removing the installed application.
