Hello all!
Anyone else have HAL dependency issues with the new kde packages (3.4.2-29 SuSE:9.3/stable)? On my test box I get the following: ------- linux:~ # apt-get -s install kdebase3 kdelibs3 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdebase3: Depends: libhal-storage.so.0 Depends: libhal.so.0 E: Broken packages ------- linux:~ # rpm -qa | grep hal hal-resmgr-0.1_SVNr59-2 hal-0.5.4-4 -------
hal-0.5.4-4 provides libhal-storage.so.1 and libhal.so.1, not libhal-storage.so.0 and libhal.so.0. Is this an issue with the kde builds? Or is an older version of hal really needed? http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/hal.html
TIA
Chris, Although this is a question more suited to the regular SuSE email list and not this one, you might have gotten more responses there. Remember this list is for 10.x questions & bugs. Occasionally packages for KDE get built incorrectly or on a different version of SuSE, so become incompatible with your version. You'll learn this is a common occurrence. Usually it's just a matter of rebuilding the files from the src.rpm on your system to set things right. I had to do this myself for kdelibs3 for 9.2. Seems the files had been compiled on a 9.3 or 10.0 system. A small annoyance and easily fixed. I had to edit the spec file for this, but I'm guessing all you need to do is just recompile the src.rpm to make your file work. end of line Lee -- --- KMail v1.8.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse! ...Calvin & Hobbes
