[opensuse] Xfce 4.4 disaster with OpenSuSE-factory
Hi. I posted this a while ago and got no reply.
There is a _huge_ problem with the Xfce packages in -factory.
Computing transaction...
error: Can't install xfce-mcs-manager-devel-4.4.0-5@i586: no package
provides libxfcegui4-devel >= 4.3
^^ that is the message i get when trying to install xfce 4.4 (with devels)
using smart.
Before you flame me, _yes_ I understand the situation, _no_ it's not
possible for me to use bugzilla, _yes_ i do _need_ xfce _and_ its devel
packages.
Any help would be really appreciated. I'm told the missing package would
be something like `xfcegui4-devel' - if the situation has since been
rectified please let me know. Also, any workarounds would be appreciated.

I installed xfce using YAST. YAST Software Managment module solved the problem due to earlier versions are included in the CD/DVD and Packman rpos etc. I selected all the packages I needed and installed them via YAST. After all is installed I run rug (Novell-zenworks cli tool) and checked any updates are available. If there are any rug will install them. I run smart but sometimes YAST fixex all. I hope it works for you. -- Goksin Akdeniz www.enixma.org www.linuxnet.com.tr
In my opinion, YaST often breaks more than it fixes. And on my system it's
a right memory hog.
But if you can provide simple instructions on how to make yast use the
opensuse-factory sources on ftp5.gwdg.de and how to get Xfce using it,
I'll give it a jolly good college try.

Hello, Horst G. Burkhardt III
In my opinion, YaST often breaks more than it fixes. And on my system it's a right memory hog.
Here is my solution: I add all 3rd party and factory repos via yast, and I run samart so that it can import them from yast. But some repos -especially factory ones- may fail. When you add all repos via yast, run software add/remove module. Search Xfce, and you may see some packages from Packman repo and rest is from factory build. Just uninstall packman repo rpms for Xfce. Select Xfce rpms and check for dependencies. When all is done, install them. You can select xfce as desktop environment from KDM or GDM. Smart may fail to update any packages related to xfce, then you can try to upgrade via rug -like rug up- or update via YAST software add/remove module. -- Goksin Akdeniz www.enixma.org www.linuxnet.com.tr
