missing "filesystem" - what is that?
I installed the KDE 3.1.4-rpm-packages for SuSE 8.0 (http://www.suse.de/de/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_0/) and was surprised to get an error when it came to "libgsf" from the applications-area: Fehler: fehlgeschlagene Paket-Abhängigkeiten: filesystem wird von libgsf-1.7.2-20 gebraucht In English that would probably be something like: Error: missing dependencies filesystem is needed by libgsf-1.7.2-20 What is that "filesystem"? Is it a package, too? Where can I find it? Searching for the term "filesystem" does not lead to satisfying results, for obvious reasons...;-( Thanks Kai

"pin" is a very useful SUSE tool. Ie, type
pin filesystem
I won't bother giving you its output here as I'm running 9.0 but it will give you useful information. -- Vic Ayres
Thanks for that pin-tip, but that leaves me with the same problem as "locate" or other search-utilities: it lists everything connected to the label "filesystem" which is, obviously, LOTS of information / a long list of packages, but it does *not* tell me, what "filesystem" is required to install the libgsf-package... Does anybody know how to find out more about this? Is there a way to read out more specific information from that rpm, for example? Am Dienstag, 13. Januar 2004 21:01 schrieb Vic Ayres:

find /path.to/suse-9.0/packages -name "filesystem*" What pin already did, as will tell find as it is used as above, that 'filesystem' is the name of a package. HTH, Cheers, Leen
If rpm tells you something is needed, then it mostly speaks of rpm packages. So if rpm tells you to install filesystem, then it doesn't mean you have to install a special real filesystem like reiser or xfs or something, but it wants you to install the rpm package neamed filesystem. So start up yast, search for this package and install it from your CD's / DVDs / FTP Servers etc. Greets, Daniel Am Mittwoch, 14. Januar 2004 18:55 schrieb Kai Andresen:

That is exactly what I thought, but there is no such package. In fact searching on the SuSE-CDs for a rpm with "filesystem" in its name does result in no results at all. Searching rpmfind produced filesystem-rpms for SuSE 8.1 and newer, but not for 8.0 (and my experiences with using 8.1-rpms are not too good...) BUT: On rpm.pbone.net I found other such packages, label with 8.x. So I gave it a try and it seems to be working properly :-) Am Mittwoch, 14. Januar 2004 20:10 schrieb Daniel Eckl:

Well, the filesystem package doesn't exist for SuSE 8.0. So that means: If you want to install a package that needs the package "filesystem", then this package was not for SuSE 8.0 either. So you can: 1. try such unofficial filesystem package like you described (but don't blame anyone) 2. You can try to install without the package "filesystem", perhaps it works. 3. You can try to find the wanted package in a version built for SuSE 8.0 Daniel Am Mittwoch, 14. Januar 2004 20:36 schrieb Kai Andresen:

One should think so, I agree. But the package I was trying to install (libgfs) comes directly from the "application"-area of http://www.suse.de/de/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_0/ which is the SuSE resource for KDE 3.1.4-rpm-packages for SuSE *8.0* ......

Now that's interesting. It seems that this libgfs package was built for SuSE 8.0 but _on_ a SuSE which is higher version... Well, since the filesystem package contains files which are surely on your system (but only from a package named differently), I would suggest to install libgfs with the rpm option --nodeps. If it doesn't work after that, you can always simply deinstall it again and nothing is wrong after that. Greets, Daniel Am Donnerstag, 15. Januar 2004 08:36 schrieb Kai Andresen:

man pin will probably help you. If you still do not get it, feel free to ask again. When in doubt, try the doc's, then google and/or rpmfind -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

It seems the filesystem packages came first with SuSE 8.1.
