I am uncertain how this occurred but Okular stopped be able to open my pdf files. I attempted to update Okular with zypper in okular and through Yast but there was a missing dependency. When I choose to ignore the dependency and update regardless to 24., Okular does not open. I updated to 24.12.3-1.2. The screenshot of the dependency warning is attached.
Does anyone have a quick fix? Thank - Richard
Hi - this sounds like either a distribution packaging issue, or an update method issue - the thing that jumps out to me is the first option being a âdowngradeâ of Spectacle 24.08.3 to Spectacle 6.3.3.
The release cycle for Spectacle recently switched to sync with the Plasma release cycle, rather than the KDE Gear one: This Week in Plasma: Getting Plasma 6.3 in Great Shape - KDE Blogs - #10 by ngraham If the approach zypper / Tumbleweed is taking to determining whether to upgrade is only âis number A bigger than number Bâ, then it will incorrectly fail to pick up that 6.3.3 is actually the upgrade to 24.08.3, not a downgrade.
Just to check, though - are you updating your Tumbleweed system using sudo zypper dup from a command line, or trying to use YaST to upgrade packages individually? The former is whatâs recommended by the distribution: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Upgrade_Tumbleweed
Iâd check with the openSUSE Tumbleweed folks on the package installation and update methods - it looks like whatâs needed is whatever they recommend that allows your system to âdowngradeâ (upgrade) to Spectacle 6.3.3 
Thank you for replying John. I generally use sudo zypper dup for my updates. Although, I occasionally do a single upgrade either by command line or YaST. I have 3 computers running 2x custom desktops and a laptop. It is the laptop, which spends a lot of time on the internet with VPN, that is the issue. I noted that packagekit somehow was active despite my turning it off. The two desktops are running 24.12.0 and 24.12.2.
After that, I have attached the system info for the laptop which indicates KDE Plasma 6.2.4. I hope this helps narrow it down.
Latest TW release is from today with snapshot 20250311, that brought Plasma 6.3.3. Can you post your repo list, it looks like you have missed a number of snapshots. There was a big update a couple of days ago, due to the release of python 313, every package got rebuild.

What happens if you do a (as root in a terminal)
zypper ref && zypper dup
A lot of packages should be updated. The error you have in YAST, could be that the repos have not been refreshed. Updating Tumbleweed should only be done by a zypper dup. You also should take your questions to the opensuse forum
