Re: Direct upgrade from Version 5.1.6 to 5.2.2

1) Installing from the ecsos repo requires 
python311-bsddb3
which I cannot find anywhere. The installation fails.
2)The Tumbleweed installation complains of a gramps-lang mismatch and proposes to download gramps from the ecsos repo.
After accepting the proposed download from ecsos repo, the installation goes to a 'successful' conclusion. The gramps installation
reveals installed versions 
gramps 5.2.2-1.1
gramps-lang 5.2.2-lp156.1.1.
and gramps does not start.

I reverted to gramps 5.1.6, so the above is reported from memory.

Cheers
Harvey
