Title: Browser
Post by: ddjolley on June 18, 2005, 04:56:09 pm

I've been reviewing the posts related to browser choice.  It seems that most everything relates to either opera or konqueror and it seems like both camps are having their share of problems.  I appreciate that getting a nearly full-featured browser to work on a handheld is a bit of a challenge.   I recall playing with Links under Gentoo and I was surprised to learn that it supports a  graphical mode.  Anyway, as a result, I was wondering if there was some alternative to opera and konqueror that might not be quite as richly featured but a bit more stable.  I think I can live with some limitations on a handheld.

Just for kicks, I tried to install knoqueror and I got some complaint about the libqte2(>=2.3.10snapshot20050131) dependency not being satisfied.  I do have version 2.3.10 of libqte2 installed but it doesn't say anything about being that snapshot.  I think I just got it from the OZ feed.  So, I  don't really know what's going on with that.

Thanks for any input.

Supply -force-depends to install that. It's a bug in the dependencies.

Thanks, Mickey.  I followed your suggestion.  Konquorer installed straight away and seems to be more than adequate for my browsing needs from a hand-held.  Accordingly, I'm just going to use Konqueror and terminate my search for alternatives.  I consider this problem solved.  Thanks for your help.

Even if I supply a -force-depends I still can seem to get it to install, it's almost like it's not acknowledging the -force-depends switch.

Suggestions?

I use

Code: [Select]

--force-depends (note the two '-') and it works for me.

Tried that and still couldn't get it to install, what I finally did was download it to my Zaurus and install it locally with the -nodeps option and it's working great.  

Thanks for the input though.
