I have changed my distribution from Tumleweed to Leap 43 by changing list of repositories to:

 # zypper lr
Repository priorities are without effect. All enabled repositories share the same priority.

There are some running programs that might use files deleted by recent upgrade. You may wish to check and restart some of them. Run 'zypper ps -s' to list these programs.

After that zypper have been broken:

# zypper
zypper: relocation error: zypper: symbol _ZN4zypp13KeyRingReport10infoVerifyERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEERKNS_13PublicKeyDataERKNS_10KeyContextE, version ZYPP_plain not defined in file libzypp.so.1600 with link time reference

I tried to find versions from Tumbleweed of packages related to zypper and I installed them:

# rpm --force -hiv libmodman1-2.0.1-24.25.x86_64.rpm  libproxy1-0.4.14-164.14.x86_64.rpm  python-zypp-0.7.3-3.27.x86_64.rpm  zypper-1.13.32-9.1.x86_64.rpm  zypper-aptitude-1.13.14-1.1.noarch.rpm  zypper-log-1.13.14-1.1.noarch.rpm

However it do not repair zypper:

# zypper
zypper: relocation error: zypper: symbol _ZN4zypp13KeyRingReport10infoVerifyERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEERKNS_13PublicKeyDataERKNS_10KeyContextE, version ZYPP_plain not defined in file libzypp.so.1600 with link time reference

What can I do to avoid reinstalling my system? Can I download source of zypper and compile it and run?

I downloaded zyppper and libzypp from software.opensuse.org for openSuse 42.3

after that I run rpm --force -hiv *rpm (for these rpm's) and after this operation zypper is fixed.

  • This mostly worked: libzypp had a dependency of libsolv-tools also. I guess it depends how broken zypper is in terms of what dependencies it may ask for. In my case just one more. libsolv-tools also had some issues installing, but the error told me how to fix the problem it raised.
