Hi, All,
I've been trying to do some work on my Redhat Enterprise Workstation. One of the things I've been trying to do is uninstall the XMMS that came with Enterprise, so I could replace it with a more up-to-date version that includes the mp3 codecs, so I can listen to my tunes.
I signed in as root, brought up the package manager, found and unchecked XMMS, and when I clicked update, I got an error message that said:"The following package could not be found on your system. Installation cannot continue intil it is installed." The package is "libxmms.so.1". Does anyone have a clue what it's talking about, and how to take care of this? I've been trying to find this package, and I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks,

Steve

Have you tried uninstalling from terminal? Use:

Because I think the package manager can't find the xmms rpm package. (I rarely use the gui package manager, it's confusing).

I just tried it from the terminal. Here's what I got:

error: Failed dependencies:
libxmms.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons-3.1.3-1


Thanks,

Steve

Hello all,
Can anyone help me with this problem? I've tried everything I can think of, including installing an updated copy of XMMS with the -u(update). It won't let me do anything to XMMS. This is really becoming annoying!

Thanks,

Steve

is the kdeaddons package installed???

How do I check to see if the kdeaddons package is installed? Can I check with RPM? I'm still rather new at this.

Thanks,

Steve

Try:

rpm -e --nodeps xmms

or just remove the kdeaddons package.

You can check the package this way:

rpm -q kdeaddons

or

rpm -qa | grep kdeaddons
