I can not install it on OpenSuse. Missing dependencies: ansible-documentation-2.18.1

Any idea how to solve it?

@Norbert_Suto

1. What’s the full command you are using to install
2. What operating system are you using
3. Have you been able to install previous versions of ansible-core?

@gundalow

1. What’s the full command you are using to install

- zypper ref
- Zypper up

1. What operating system are you using

- OpenSUSE Leap 15.6
- Use these repo: [https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/ansible/15.6/](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/ansible/15.6/)

1. Have you been able to install previous versions of ansible-core?

- Yes 2.18.0 are installed successfully.

Now i deleted ansible-documentation.

If i try to install it again, i get these:

```auto
zypper install ansible-documentation
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: 1: the to be installed ansible-documentation-2.18.0-lp156.38.1.noarch requires 'ansible-core = 2.18.0', but this requirement cannot be provided
not installable providers: ansible-core-2.18.0-lp156.80.1.noarch[susemanager:opensuse_leap15_6-x86_64-ansible]

 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
  downgrade of ansible-core-2.18.1-lp156.82.1.noarch to ansible-core-2.18.0-lp156.80.1.noarch
  downgrade of ansible-11.1.0-lp156.1.1.noarch to ansible-11.0.0-lp156.1.1.noarch
 Solution 2: do not install ansible-documentation-2.18.0-lp156.38.1.noarch
 Solution 3: break ansible-documentation-2.18.0-lp156.38.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

```

seems Ansible-documentation are require same core version… and no new version that same like 2.18.1 core.

Hi,  
Thanks for the details. I’ve asked some folks to look into this.

I believe this is your first post to the Ansible Forum, welcome!

Welcome to the forum, @Norbert_Suto! Could you please contact whomever maintains [https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/ansible/15.6/](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/ansible/15.6/)? The update path for the `ansible-documentation` package in that repo indeed looks broken, but we as the upstream Ansible community unfortunately cannot fix it.
