SLES 15 SP 4 Configuration for SAP B1 HANA

Greetings Microsoft Community, I have a Azure VM with image "sles-15-sp4-basic" and preparing the prerequisites for SAP B1 HANA installation.

When installing the package "rpm" using command "zypper install rpm", it is showing as below:

Problem: the installed rpm-ndb-4.14.3-150300.55.1.x86_64 conflicts with 'rpm' provided by the to be installed rpm-4.14.3-150300.55.1.x86_64

Solution 1: deinstallation of rpm-ndb-4.14.3-150300.55.1.x86_64

Solution 2: do not install rpm-4.14.3-150300.55.1.x86_64

Both solution does not work for me. May I know how can I deinstall the conflicting "rpm-ndb" or a workaround for this?

Thank you.

    Hello Martin Garrix

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    To resolve the conflict between the installed rpm-ndb and the rpm package you are trying to install, you can try the following steps:

    -Check if the rpm-ndb package is required for any other software on your system. If it is not required, you can remove it using the following command:

    sudo zypper remove rpm-ndb

    -If the rpm-ndb package is required for other software, you can try installing the rpm package with the --force option to overwrite the conflicting files. However, this is not recommended as it may cause issues with other software on your system.

    sudo zypper install --force rpm

    -Another option is to try installing the rpm package from a different repository. You can search for available repositories using the following command:

    sudo zypper lr -d

    Once you have identified a suitable repository, you can add it to your system using the following command:

    sudo zypper ar <repository-url> <repository-name>

    Replace <repository-url> with the URL of the repository and <repository-name> with a name for the repository. Once the repository is added, you can try installing the rpm package again using the following command:

    sudo zypper install rpm

    I hope this helps you resolve the conflict and install the rpm package successfully.
