Hi all, I sent this to feedback@suse.com so they can fix some package problems with the latest KDE updates for 7.1. I thought that I would forward it to the list in case others run into this problem or can suggest a solution. Note that I have tried to create the new symlinks that the packages need, but they are not recognized by rpm when I try to install the new package (probably because they are not in the package database). -ronc ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Problems with latest KDE packages for SuSE 7.1 Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 08:37:29 -0400 From: Ron Cordell To: feedback@suse.com Hello, I recently installed the latest KDE3 packages from the /supplementary/KDE/7.1 directories on the ftp server. There is a problem with the packages because sound no longer works. Digging into things a little deeper, it turns out that the libraries normally contained within kde2-compat.rpm do not satisfy the requirements for the arts server. For example, kde2-compat-2.2.2-103.rpm supplies libartsflow.so, and links for libartsflow.so.0. However, arts can't be started after installing the new rpms because it needs, among other missing linked libraries, libartsflow.so.1 More detailed information: Attempting to install kdelibs3-3.0-35.rpm results in: root@penguin:/rpms/KDE/KDE3/base > rpm -Uvh kdelibs3-3.0-35.rpm error: failed dependencies: libartsflow.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 libartsflow_idl.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 libkmedia2_idl.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 libmcop.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 libqtmcop.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 libsoundserver_idl.so.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.0-35 None of these libraries are provided by any packages under the 7.1 KDE directory - I would expect them to be in the kde2-compat package, but this package is out of sync with the latest updates.
