I am using SLED SP1 and pidgin 2.2.1 and i want to install pidgin 2.3. So, i found pidgin 2.3 on benjiweber search. I went to install pidgin 2.3 and got dependency error: rpm -Uvh pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libpurple = 2.3.0 is needed by pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586
So, i got libpurple 2.3 from benjiweber search and tryied to install it and got dependency error : rpm -Uvh libpurple-2.3.0-3.1.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libpurple = 2.2.1 is needed by (installed) pidgin-2.2.1-7.1.i586
This seems to be a dependency loop? How do i install pidgin 2.3 and libpurple 2.3?
There's no dependancy loop. Messages appear for a reason...for you to READ THEM. Computers are not interactive TV sets, in which only scant attention need be paid to written messages...computer messages contain important details, which you are expected to pay attention to. Let's look at the messages above: They say that pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586 needs libpurple2.3.0, and that libpurple2.2.1 is needed by pidgen-2.2.1-7.1.i586. There's no loop there...the dependance is parallel: pidgin-2.3.0-3.1.i586 needs libpurple2.3.0 pidgen-2.2.1-7.1.i586 needs libpurple2.2.1 If you get rid of pidgen-2.2.1-7.1..i586, then you don't need libpurple2.2.1 any more, do you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
