Description of problem: While trying to install kdevelop rpm found dependencies missing, so tried to resolve them which led to the point where qt-designer could not be installed which inturn could not be installed because qt-devel could not be installed which in turn could not be installed because XFree86-devel was not installed. Finally checked all the 4 CD's but didn't find XFree86-devel (or XFree86 anywhere). Because of this the whole chain of dependency is broken. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
xorg-x11-devel is what you need.
Thanks Bill, but isn't it somehow incorrect (maybe needs to go into wishlist), that rpm -ivh <package-A> reports that some <package-B> is required (from FC3 or any distro), but there is no <package-B> in the distro ?? Or, there should be some mechanism (similar to rpmfind.net) which can tie-in the <package-B> to <package-C> where <package-C> is a drop-in replacement for <package-B> ?? Of course this is not a XFree86 problem.
It would be a bug in the kdevelop package instead which needs to be changed to require xorg-x11-devel instead of XFree86-devel. Since the xorg-x11-devel package also provides for XFree86-devel as a legacy, then most people don't see this problem if they already have it installed. Changing component to kdevelop.
