I cannot believe linking a lib file to an executable will accomplish *anything*.
You are absolutely right, Oddball is breaking his system by doing that. Lynn did not give an exact example of what exactly to symlink and this is happening.
This is all I had to go on:
"according to packagekit a dependency is not fulfilled, while the file needed is provided by a package with a higher package number"
Looked like a good candidate to try the symlink with.
It is very difficult to help someone who does not know/understand what to tell you that is wrong. If he knew and understood what was wrong, he could probably fix it himself :^) Your example was fine but presuming that the op had knowledge that apparently he did not. The hardest part about helping, level to talk to another w/o treating like a child or making them feel ignorant and/or inferior and still imparting sufficiently useful information. Last week I replaced a 6:5 17" lcd monitor with a 16:9 24" and the 91 year old user called me today and asked me to return it and give him back the smaller one. Everything on the new monitor was different than before and was upsetting, and I did my best to make sure everything was the same. Go figure It is a good candidate to try soft linking to provide the lib. If it doesn't work, one only has to delete the link. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
