From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: rpm reports a missing libkdeprint.so.0 and i simply canB4t find this library anywhere. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download and install latest kdelibs (2.1.2) 2. download koffice-1.1-0.beta1.1.i386.rpm 3. run "rpm -Uvh koffice-1.1-0.beta1.1.i386.rpm Actual Results: rpm gives an error for failed dependencies in libkdeprint.so.0 Expected Results: the new koffice beta should have been installed :-(( Additional info: clean seawolf install (RH7.1) with just latest kdelibs (as mentioned before) and the i386/rh7.1 koffice beta-package here.
Update kdelibs to 2.2alpha1 or higher. I recommend using 2.2-0.cvs20010514.1.
There is an alternative if you, as I, do not wish to have to install alpha code to test a beta release :-). Koffice 1.1 is fully able to run under KDE 2.1; it does not depend on KDE 2.2 facilities, it is just able to utilize some KDE 2.2 facilities. This alternative is to build the binary package yourself from sources. This is not entirely trivial - it took me some hours to figure out that one have to remove the Redhat 7.1 vanilla koffice installation for the koffice 1.1 beta 2 to build successfully. But this is what I did, on a vanilla RedHat 7.1 with all current (early June 2001) updates installed, most notably the kdelibs 2.1.2-1 packages: rpm -i <the source rpm> (The source rpm is ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/kde/unstable/koffice-1.1-beta2/RedHat/7.1/SRPMS/koffice-1.1-0.beta2.1.src.rpm) then rpm -e koffice rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/koffice.spec (takes about 3 hours on my rather fast PC) rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/koffice-1.1-0.beta2.1.i386.rpm - and everything works just fine -
