Description of Problem: When installing a KDE application via add applications, the dependancy libraries cannot be found even through they exist on the CDs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Depends on the application, frequent if the user has installed a Gnome desktop Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a KDE based application 2. Attempt to install 3. Actual Results: The installer complains that certain libraries are required Expected Results: The installer should say to insert Psych 8.0 CDx and install as it does when installing Opera 6.03 Additional Information: I have not tested this the other way around (i.e. install a KDE desktop instead of a Gnome one)
What libraries is it looking for? Note that the KDE libs included in Red Hat Linux 8.0 are not compatible with those from older releases due to the change in the C++ library.
The libraries looked for are always the devel ones, so take your pick. The really fun part is that if you manually install them, they will still fail to register when you try to install a KDE package (and more than that, if the package fails to install due to dependancie problems, but knows the other packages exist and tries to install them, 9 times out of 10, the installation will fail, requiring a reset to get the installer to work again - see bug #75825)
Can you give the output of 'rpm -qpR package' for one of the packages that won't install?
Created attachment 90335 [details] Output from rpm -qpR This was generated after the latest release of Wine (Redhat 8 RPM) failed to install on my laptop. It installed fine on my normal PC.
Fixed with newer code
