I wanted to install Frostwire (a java based p2p client). Imagine my surprise when in the list of automatic changes, Yast2 software install presents me with: Mozilla Thunderbird. Why on God's green Earth would a Java based p2p client be dependent on a mail client?

I finish the Frostwire install, and then decide to delete Thunderbird. This gets accepted, but as an automatic change, Yast now proposes Seamonkey. I accept that change and let Thunderbird uninstall (and Seamonkey install). I then wish to delete Seamonkey, only to be presented with Mozilla Sunbird as an automatic change. Deleting Sunbird presents Seamonkey as an automatic change, etc.

So, then I start to get curious to see which package actually needs Sunbird to be installed: # rpm -q --whatrequires MozillaSunbird no package requires MozillaSunbird

I'm confused. Anyone?

Its likely requiring the libgtkembedmoz.so file.

rpm -q --requires Frostwire

This library is provided by multiple rpms, including Thunderbird and seamonkey. mozilla-xulrunner* is however the provider that should be probably used, if available.

I'm really curious about the output of the above rpm -q --requires Frostwire Marcus is probably on the right track but it's not libgtkembedmoz.so since that one isn't provided by MozillaThunderbird. We really need to know which one it is. I (we) know that the mozilla based packages are "providing" too much actually which makes the decision for rpm/zypp a bit hard sometimes. That got better with Firefox 3 but I think I need to do a bit more on that.

I hope this satisfies that curiosity:

# rpm -q --requires FrostWire eclipse-swt-gtk2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the most suspicious to me for requiring TB. The problem is that I can't map this to any provides available on my openSUSE 11.1:

Hygiea:~ # LANG=en_US zypper wp eclipse-swt-gtk2 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No providers of 'eclipse-swt-gtk2' found. But Eclipse is known to require some Gecko stuff so ... still hard to say exactly.

So it's provided by Packman, on my system at least.

If that is so, complain to the packman maintainer and not SuSE/Novell about broken dependencies. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If I issue the command above, I get this: "package Frostwire is not installed" Which is weird in several ways...for one, Frostwire is installed and two...it's running as I type this.

This library is provided by multiple rpms, including Thunderbird and seamonkey. mozilla-xulrunner* is however the provider that should be probably used, if available.

That's also strange, because both mozilla-xulrunner181 and 190 are installed and were installed before I tried to install Frostwire, probably because I run Firefox. So there would have been no reason to either install Thunderbird, Sunbird or Seamonkey, if I understand you correctly. What else can I do to make sense of this?
