Description Erik del Toro Streb 2009-03-03 23:19:27 UTC

Description of problem:
I want to install pwlib (64 bit version), and gpk-application tells me that it will install some dependencies which have i386 architecture. But then gpk-application aborts the install process, because the dependencies are already installed as 64bit versions (which should be enough, I think).

Not the same thing with yum: pwlib is installed but the dependencies (libv4l, expat, ptlib) are installed as i386 versions. But yum then installs them (not useful I think).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pwlib-1.10.10-10.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Described above.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install pwlib on a 64bit machine.
2. gpk-application tells you, that i386versions of libv4l, expat, ptlib have to be installed.
3. Click on “Ok” to install pwlib and the dependencies.
  
Actual results:
gpk-application aborts installation.

Expected results:
gpk-application should resolve to the 64bit dependecies and then install them and pwlib.

Additional info:
Don’t know why yum just installs it. But it’s not that what I want.

pwlib is obsolete in Fedora-10 and has been replaced by ptlib.

Why is the package then in the repository? If it is there, it should resolve to the correct architecture.

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2009-04-01 16:32:19 UTC

It shouldn't be. It was marked as a dead package. I will reopen the ticket with releng that made it a dead package. The last supported release that had pwlib was Fedora 9. Its long been replaced with ptlib.

This ticket is closed, but the bug is still present.

I didn’t exactly understand what you mean: What means “releng”? And when will you reopen the ticket?

If I type
   yum search pwlib
in my Fedora-10-console I get 4 packages:
pwlib.i386 : Portable Windows Library
pwlib.x86_64 : Portable Windows Library
pwlib-devel.i386 : Development package for pwlib
pwlib-devel.x86_64 : Development package for pwlib

There is no hint, that this package is dead or whatever.

Sorry, if I understood something wrong. I hope for a short explanation.

What do you need pwlib for and why can't you use ptlib?

I needed it for using my DV camera as v4l device (i.e. webcam) using dv4l und vloopback as described here: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664596

But it never worked with Fedora. I used Ubuntu for this instead.
