[opensuse] 12.3 Cannot update Calibre to 0.9.13-2.2.1
Hello, I have upgraded 12.2 to 12.3 yesterday and beside the inglorious "no shutdown bug" I am noticing also the less critical unable to upgrade Calibre. It seems that the available package is corrupted or incomplete (fonts). This is the error I get running zypper: Installazione di calibre-0.9.13-2.2.1 fallita: (con --nodeps --force) Errore: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallito: warning: /etc/bash_completion.d/calibre saved as /etc/bash_completion.d/calibre.rpmsave error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory error: calibre-0.9.13-2.2.1.x86_64: install failed Any comments?

Look in archives, particulary opensuse-factory for calibre and you will find a solution.

Nice snarky and un-helpful answer. Typical. How about this taken from the upstream download site: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
The latest release of calibre is 0.9.31. Please do not use your distribution provided calibre package, as those are often buggy/outdated. Instead use the Binary install described below.
The procedure referred to is also on the above link. It works every time for me happy to help Bruce Ferrell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks both Bruce, Patrick. I will try before with Factory, then switch to binary solution if previous fails.

You are quite welcome. I have returned and looked up the answer, re: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801390 to wit: uninstall calibre remove /usr/share/calibre install new calibre

re: Bruce Ferrell poor advise. Unknowledgable users especially should use distro provided packages and solutions. Binary installs may cause all sorts of problems and do not appear in your rpm database. :0: * ^From:.bferrell\@baywinds\.org /dev/null -- (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

It is a very nice and correct answer. Not everybody has always the time to spend time and search the exact answer, but have the time to give a pointer to where to find it. I could find in seconds the posts he referred to.

And this has been answered here by knowledgeable people to take no heed of, for security reasons. I can give you the pointers, if you are interested. It is your choice, which way to use calibre, but do it with knowledge. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
