Hello SuSE folk, For those not following this thread; here is a synopsis. Back on 3/31 I asked: ( Running 8.2)
Since my upgrade to 3.2.1 I am having problems with kooka. Appears that it is not working with the upgrade. Part of a package named kdegraphics3-scan which is held back by apt. Following is message received from apt when trying to install kdegraphics3-scan: --------------------------------------------------------------------- - linux:/ # apt-get install kdegraphics3-scan Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdegraphics3-scan: Depends: ocrad but it is not installable Depends: libexif.so.9 but it is not installable E: Broken packages linux:/ # ---------------------------------------------------------------------
After much discussion by Stan Glasoe, Richard Bos, and especially by Anders Johannson, I decided that the best approach was to build a "fake" rpm which would convince apt that the necessary files were provided. (libexif.so.9) This is a file provided from an older version of libexif than is installed on my system. Welllll..... that worked. apt then installed kdegraphics3-scan. Only problem is that kooka won't open, giving me the following message. --------------------------------------------- Bob@linux:~> kooka kooka: error while loading shared libraries: libexif.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Bob@linux:~> ------------------------------------------------------- Not sure what that means. Of course the libexf.so.9 doesn't really exist. apt & rpm thinks it does but evidently kooka knows better. Thought I could fix it with a link to the newer libexif file but can't figure out how to do that. Believe it or not the newer libexif-0.5.9-26 file lists a libexif.so.8 Sooooo, are we fooling ourselves ?? Kind of looks like we will have to wait for the KDE development team to fix it. Bob S. PS Hey, it is impossible that I am the only one that has this problem.
