uprmi pine failing

hashbrown · 07-22-2005, 12:18 PM

When I try to install pine using urpmi (configured according to Easy Urpmi), I get the following:

> urpmi pine
Some package requested cannot be installed:
pine-4.62-1plf.i586 (due to unsatisfied liblber.so.2)
Continue? (Y/n)

I am not sure what 'unsatisfied' means, but why is this dependency not taken care of by urpmi? Is there is an inconsistency in my urpmi sources, perhaps?

Thanks.

It is most likely your URPMI database is out of date, or your missing a needed source...You may be able to get by installing just the needed package, (libldap2-2.0.25-7.2mdk RPM for i586) however.

Go Here:
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandra...2mdk.i586.html

Get This:
libldap2-2.0.25-7.2mdk RPM for i586

Install like this from "root" of course:
# rpm -i libldap2-2.0.25-7.2mdk RPM for i586

Then try your:
# urpmi pine

Even it it worked I would update if you have not in awhile.
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

I would suggest doing only one source at a time and check the platform and version your using carefully. Also you may want to clear the existing database first:

# urpmi.removemedia -a

It always works better then just update...

Good Luck

Yes, it seems that my contrib source was corrupted in the urpmi database somehow. I wiped the list and rebuilt, and it worked fine.

Thanks.

I don't think it was corrupted, just out of date. Next time just run,

Code:

#urpmi.update -a

Once thats done retry the installation and it usually works fine.

Actually definitely not out of date as I had run above command before trying to install pine. Anwyays, removing and adding the contrib source resulted in it knowing which dependency to get, but not being able to get it. (Does the order in which sources are added to urpmi have effects?)

As I said, rebuilding the database cured all.

Thanks.

No, the order doesn't matter. In this instance, the mirror may not have been completely up to date with the main mirrors, so running the command I posted above, changing the mirror or rebuilding like you did may solve the problem.

Not sure this will help, but have you read the urpmi guide at http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi
The following should show which RPM's have this file.

Code:

urpmf  liblber.so.2

Also

Code:

urpmq -d -m packagename

In theory should tell you the dependents not installed.
