Description of problem: Inkscape package depends on gc package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.45.1-1.fc7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Inkscape 2. in Gnome, Select Graphics > Inkscape Actual results: "Launching Inkscape" is visible in taskbar and disappears, Inkscape does not open. Expected results: Inkscape should open Additional info: ldd indicates a dependency of /usr/bin/inkscape on libgc.so.1
Looks like you have a mix of i386 and x86_64 packages, or something like that. Did you do a clean F-7 install, or an upgrade from FC-6 ? Could you install the 'yum-utils' package and run the following command ? : package-cleanup --problems
I did a clean net install (boot.iso) of F7 on a Pentium III, so if some x86_64 packages got installed it's still a bug. Mirror used was ftp.stw-bonn.de I believe. There was an (i386) FC4 installation on the machine but it was repartitioned and formatted.
Similar problems also surfaced for Skencil (0.6.17-13.fc7): - according to /usr/bin/skencial it did not find tk84.so: the tk package was not installed as a dependency - manually installing tk leads to the next error, Python complaining about python-imaging - if I manually install python-imaging and surrounding packages then I get a memory access error ("Speicherzugriffsfehler") Let me know if I should file a separate bug on that.
$ package-cleanup --problems Setting up yum Reading local RPM database Processing all local requires Missing dependencies: Package gnochm requires python-chm >= 0.8.4 Package pstoedit requires libEMF.so.1 Package pstoedit requires libMagick++.so.10 Package pstoedit requires libplotter.so.2 Package inkscape requires perl(Image::Magick) Package inkscape requires perl(XML::XQL) Package inkscape requires perl(XML::XQL::DOM) Package xfig requires transfig >= 1:3.2.5 These packages and some others were installed graphically in Gnome using Package Manager ("Paket-Manager"), no crashes or errors.
We've had similar reports of yum installations leading to broken deps, something that's normally technically not possible. 2 questions : 1. did you install inkscape with a manual yum command ? 2. from what F-7 media did you install from ? (DVD, single-CD spin, live CD, network install)
See comments #3 and #5!
sry, #2 and #4 obviously: no manual yum
So you installed inkscape with the 'add/remove software' menu entry ? (aka pirut). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 242748 ***
Yes! (The window title and about dialog both said Paket-Manager.)
