[Bug 781295] New: ghostscript package seems broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781295 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781295#c0 Summary: ghostscript package seems broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: g.sora@fastwebnet.it QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: Customer Blocker: --- Hi, maybe it will affect i586 version too. I consider it severe because it prevents printers from working, while you can see and configure them, but you cannot print (usually I got some kind of errors like "missing file" or something regard missing filter and so on). While installing, I noticed an error, with the usual request "ignore,abort,continue" when installing the package ghostscript 9.05.04.1.2. I chose ignore it so that I supposed I will be able to fix using Yast. While looking at the installed software "ghostscript related" I find that ghostscript is not installed, while I have an older ghostscript_library. The detailed error I get from trying install ghostscript is: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallito: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/packages/ghostscript: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory error: ghostscript-9.05-4.1.2.x86_64: install failed error: ghostscript-library-9.00-13.1.3.x86_64: erase skipped Of course I tried to download other files from repositories, but I always get this error. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It seems your messed up your packages. Probablly because you use various package repositories at the same time so that you got ghostscript-library and ghostscript available.
With the default package repositories for openSUSE 12.2 this would not happen.
From my current point of view the bug report is invalid because it is caused by your non-matching individual package repositories.
You cannot use arbitrary package repositories at the same time and expect that everything works correctly - very likely you get this or that conflict in such cases.
You can have either ghostscript-library or ghostscript not both at the same time.
I suggest to remove ghostscript-library and ghostscript-x11 and re-install ghostscript and ghostscript-x11 from one same repository.
You need the packages "ghostscript" and "ghostscript-x11" with exact same version-release.
For details and background information see bnc#735824
Thank you, now it is working fine. The problem aroused while trying to update from 12.1 to 12.2, when I supposed all other old repositories were put on "off" while updating. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
