Installations and their Dependencies

[gapan]

abiword-3.0.5 needs the following packages:
libical,boost,librevenge,libwps,raptor2,rasqal,redland,libwpd,libwpg,libexif,gvfs,goffice.

with this build;
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/man \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 \
--disable-static \
--enable-shared \
--enable-clipart \
--enable-templates \
--with-redland \
--with-boost=yes \
--with-goffice

I don't understand your comment. If you compile abiword yourself, then it will need whatever you compile it with. The package that is in the repositories definitely does not need all of those. For example, I remove boost, and it still works fine. I don't have redland or rasqal installed and it works fine.

I thought it was a generic array of dependencies but this is certainly one of the most difficult things to do, for example for French we have to take hunspell for the spell checker because aspelll does not support this language.

System-config-printer still has a problem. I tried installing it on another system and here's what I get.

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get -i system-config-printer

Excluding system-config-printer, use --ignore-dep to override
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  system-config-printer: Depends: python-request
The following packages have been EXCLUDED:
  system-config-printer 
0 upgraded, 0 reinstalled, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 1 not upgraded.

But I installed it?

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get -i python-requests
Reading Package Lists...Done
python-requests is up to date.
0 upgraded, 0 reinstalled, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 0 not upgraded.

So I tried this

Code: Select all

rroot[rich]# slapt-get -i system-config-printer --ignore-dep

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  system-config-printer: Depends: python-request

| system-config-printer (CUPS printer administration tool)
| 
| The purpose of the tool is to configure a CUPS server (often the local
| machine) using the CUPS API. The tool is written in Python, using
| pygtk for the graphical parts and Python bindings (pycups) for the
| CUPS API. It is largely the same as using the CUPS web interface for
| configuring printers, but has the advantage of being a native
| application rather than a web page.

It was installed, so I tried starting it.

Code: Select all

rich[~]$ system-config-printer
rich[~]$ system-config-printer

That's a far as I went. Something must be wrong with the dependency list

[gapan]

Ah, that should be "python-requests", not "python-request". If you have that installed along with all other dependencies, it should work:

Code: Select all

python-requests
python-urllib3
python-chardet|python-charset-normalizer
python-certifi
python-idna
pygobject3
gtk+3

Something else:
Maybe add a little note to the package description of the Sourcery package "floating-IPS", stating "Use flips command to execute program". It's not terribly obvious unless you know the short name "flips".

I can't do that. I can only edit dependencies. Everything you find in sourcery is actually administered by SBo, not salix.

[laprjns]

twapake requires perl-Curses-UI, but slapt-src can't find it.

rich[slapt-get]$ slapt-src --install twapake
Missing slackbuild: twapake requires perl-Curses-UI
Unable to find all specified slackbuilds.
rich[slapt-get]$

It look like the SLACKBUILDS.TXT file is missing the perl-Curses-UI stanza

[gapan]

That's because you can get perl-Curses-UI with slapt-get.

I miss spi...

I miss spi...

I know. But my hope is that you won't need it in the end. Not if everything is in the repos.
