Hi all!
I'm trying to install the UseNext software, but I am getting this error:
linux-4qfd:/home/warthog/Downloads # rpm -Uvh usenext_5.27.rpm error: Failed dependencies: mono(gdk-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by usenext-5.27-1.i386 mono(glib-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by usenext-5.27-1.i386 mono(gtk-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by usenext-5.27-1.i386
I have installed the SuSE 12.1 versions of these but they are the 2.12 version. Could this be a problem? If so, how do I fix it?
Is this the custom software for the UseNext Usenet provider? If yes, then... well.. UseNext has a pretty bad customer service reputation... to say the least. For a news reader, you've got so many excellent choices that do NOT use Mono. I really recommend KWooty as an NZB download manager in combination with an NZB search engine such as nzbindex.nl For a basic news reader, look at Pan - included with openSUSE. For a news provider, look into one like EasyNews (I've used their services off and on for as many years as I can remember) who have a very good reputation. Installing software - and I don't know if it'll sort things out in this case - use zypper install (or the short form zypper in) instead of rpm -Uvh. Zypper will sort out your dependencies for you where rpm will just error out. So in this case, you'd type: zypper in usenext_5.27.rpm I'm not going to test it on my system though, because personally, due to their reputation, I won't go near UseNext as a newsgroup provider.
From what I read when I did a quick search on the issues around this reader it appears to be locked into an old version of Mono... I've seen no solution (other than maybe finding a way to install the old Mono), and lots of people with the exact same error.
So... unless you need the UseNext custom client for something specific... why not try Pan or some other newsreader you've already got access to in the openSUSE repos? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
