Title: Libqte 2.3.7-r20
Post by: pframpton on December 21, 2004, 05:48:56 pm: Despite libqte being installed, I still get dependency errors installing anything requiring it (eg Portabase). I searched on this forum and with google, and I only found a few comments where others have mentioned this. The only fix is I've seen is to remove -r20 and instal -r16 from 3.5.1

Is there no better way, surely the IPK in the initrd.bin can be removed and uploaded, or one generated from the OE files. I'm at home for Christmas and don't have access to a computer suitable for doing this. Could someone else shead some light on the issue?

Thanks,
Philip

You can use '-force-depends' option in the gui package-manager or from the command line in terminal. This will resolve any dependency issues when you know the libqte is there.

Post by: pframpton on December 21, 2004, 06:20:19 pm: I did realise that, but I didn't want to leave --force-depends on permanently incase I was missing any more crucial files.

I've logged into my work machine and tried mounting the OZ image but realised that it's different to mounting the Sharp ROM and I don't know how. This whole situation would be easier if the feed had libqte2, any idea why it doesn't?

Post by: samac on December 21, 2004, 06:37:50 pm: Just had the same problem the feed is

http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3....3.7-r16_arm.ipk (http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.1/feed/libqte2_2.3.7-r16_arm.ipk)

It has to be installed --force-depends because of a dependency to tslib

but all is good again

Post by: pframpton on December 21, 2004, 06:44:25 pm: But that isn't actually "the same" libqte as the one installed on the Z with 3.5.2

When it comes to a choice between forcing the install of apps and keeping -r20 (3.5.2) or forcing the install of -r16 to keep packages quiet, I'd go for the former. Surely there must be a way to package the installed libqte files into the old IPK.

It's not elegant but it works, I would rather have a working system, after all 3.5.2 is classed as unstable.

Post by: Shdwdrgn on December 22, 2004, 12:47:59 am: I did this over a week ago, installing -r16. None of my packages have complained about the slightly older libqte, and there are no longer any error messages when installing packages.

You only need to --force-depends temporarily for the installation of the -r16 package. After that, you can turn off all the --force options and everything will work as expected.
