Problem: nothing provides libjsoncpp.so.1()(64bit) needed by llvm6-6.0.1-43.25.sles12.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install edb-as12-server-12.6.7-1.sles12.x86_64
 Solution 2: break llvm6-6.0.1-43.25.sles12.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c1```


Is it safe to go to solution2?

Answer 1

As already suggested in the comments, it's safer to avoid breaking dependencies. You did not tell us which service pack of SLES 12 you're using. Nevertheless, starting with SLES 12 SP1, the package you're searching for is available in the PackageHub repository.
