Description Justin 2019-12-03 05:08:16 UTC
Description of problem:

Wingpanel (thus pantheon) cannot install because of a missing dependency.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

wingpanel-indicator-datetime-2.1.3-3.fc30.x86_64

How reproducible: Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # dnf group install 'pantheon desktop'
or
1. # dnf install wingpanel-indicator-datetime

Actual results:

Last metadata expiration check: 2:10:11 ago on Mon 02 Dec 2019 09:48:23 PM EST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libecal-1.2.so.19()(64bit) needed by wingpanel-indicator-datetime-2.1.3-3.fc30.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)


Expected results: Wingpanel should install.

Additional info: libecal is not in the repos.

Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2019-12-03 11:12:52 UTC
I'm sorry you're having issues with Pantheon on fedora 31. I'm aware of this issue and I basically can't do anything about it, since the upstream project for the Date & Time indicator doesn't support the version of libecal (evolution-data-server) that's available on fedora 31:

https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-datetime/issues/122
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1705553
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1736968

Porting the code from libecal-1.2 to libecal-2.0 doesn't seem to be trivial, so I can't do it myself.


You can work around this issue by installing everything *but* wingpanel-indicator-datetime - provided you don't mind that the top panel is not displaying the time.

Comment 3 Fabio Valentini 2019-12-07 21:49:08 UTC
I was able to build a fedora update that includes the support for libecal-2.0, which was published just yesterday.
With this update, there should be no dependency issues left.
