Dependancy failure

Hi All
I am getting this alarm continually, I dont use irq and it is annoying, further info displays

xchat-lang-2.8.4-109.1.i586 requires xchat = 2.8.4, but this requirement cannot be provided
liferea-lang-1.4.15-18.1.i586 requires liferea = 1.4.15, but this requirement cannot be provided
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-lang-0.10.7-38.1.i586 requires gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good = 0.10.7, but this requirement cannot be provided

got XChat 2.8.6 released (the Linux version) from xchat.org :: View topic - XChat 2.8.6 released and it is an iso file, how do I handle this please and is it the right one to use?

Help would be much appreciated
Graham

have you tried installing xchat from your install cd/dvd ?

Andy

I would install the one from the packman repository.

Put that one on and it should be able to find and resolve all dependencies for you.

Just go to add software repositories, and look for the packman community repository.

Once that is on and loaded you should be able to find xchat the easy way through Yast

Packman and server:irc (server? WTF!!) package it.

Hi
Thanks for your response

On search of cd I downloaded suse 11 from net there is only desktop config file listed under xchat

Looking at YAST package selection under packman repos following listed
xchat-debugsource
debuginfo
mdp plug in
these look like development tools

I am a newbie to linux, asa you can probably see
Graham

go to yast - software management
in search type: xchat

it is also in Packman but different/newer version

make sure you have the oss, nonoss and packman repos’ enabled

Thx u advise caf4926
following u instructions only repos available are those listed in #4 with a pile of bundle-lang-gnome and audacious plug ins, none of which look applicable

all repos enabled as you listed

when filter xchat Installed, then listed
bundle-lang-gnome en
xchat with ! mark indicating upgrade required
xchat-gnome
xchat-gnome-lang
xchat lang

On trying to upgrade the above advised “There are some conflicts on the transaction that must be solved manually.”
listing “xchat-lang-2.8.4-109.1.i586 requires xchat=2.8.4, but this requirement cannot be provided”
then offers some alternatives, being
1 deinstall xchat-lang-2.8.4-109.1.i58
2 do not install xchat-2.8.6-0.pm.1.i586
3 ignore some dependancies of xchat lang

Going around in circles

Graham

Would you be able to run the command: zypper sl in a terminal and paste the output, please? :slight_smile:

That would show us which repositories you have installed. The only reason I ask is because I’ve had a similar problem where a package was “not provided” and the reason turned out to be that some of my repositories didn’t match the version of OpenSUSE (11.0) I was running. For example: I was using Factory repositories when I was running 11.0. This created some conflicting packages, and the update failed because unneeded packages were missing.
