Installing K3B

simbamford · 05-24-2004, 08:27 AM

I'm running Redhat 9. I've tried to install K3B. I had a choice of downloads:

k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.i386.rpm
k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.i686.rpm
k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.athlon.rpm
k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.src.rpm
k3b-i18n-0.11-2.xcyb.rh9.noarch.rpm
k3b-i18n-0.11-2.xcyb.src.rpm

...and I chose:

k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.i386.rpm

(I'm running it on a Dell "hyperthreading" P4)

On the command line as root I did:

# rpm -i k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.i386.rpm

And I got:

warning: k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb.rh9.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 87e600b8
error: Failed dependencies:
flac is needed by k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb
id3lib is needed by k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb

libmad is needed by k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb
libmad.so.0 is needed by k3b-0.11.9-1.xcyb

The K3B website says this (which I don't understand):

The packages are signed with this key: (...a URL) . To import it use:
wget (...a URL)
rpm --import xcyborg.asc

What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely

The missing key is not your problem; the failed dependencies are. You can disregard the key warning. You have to locate the files reported as missing, chances are they are included in some rpm on your rh9 source CD. Install them, and it should work.

I do believe though that the i686 package should be ok as well (?).

I've just installed succesfully k3b (k3b-0.11.17-1.xcyb.rh9.i686.rpm)
on RedHat 9 using yum.
In order to satisfy the dependencies I needed libmad-0.15.1-0.fdr.0.b.rh90.i386.rpm
(available on ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/apt.kde-r....rh90.i386.rpm)

The hard work was done by yum, installing :
flac 1.1.0-0.fdr.16.rh90.i386.rpm
id3lib 3.8.3-0.fdr.9.rh90.i386.rpm
libmad-0.15.1-0.fdr.0.b.rh90.i386.rpm

If you have yum installed, add

Code:

[xcyb-stable]
name=Red Hat Linux 9 ( xcyborg / stable )
baseurl=http://rpms.xcyb.org/redhat/9/stable/

[xcyb-bleeding]
name=Red Hat Linux 9 ( xcyborg / bleeding )
baseurl=http://rpms.xcyb.org/redhat/9/bleeding/

to yum's conf file (/etc/yum.conf)

and then run

Code:

yum install k3b

If not, you should download the packages above and install them before installing yum.
