Unrar not installed in 11.4 ?

lenwolf · March 13, 2011, 11:49am

Hi all,

It seems that unrar isn’t installed any more in 11.4?

When i try to install it via Yast, it shows many dependencies that must be fulfilled, the total download comes to something over 400 MB.

Just for unrar?

Does anybody have the same experience?

TIA

can uninstall it without problem, its not showing dependencies here…

For my 11.4 upgraded from 11.3, “zypper info --requires unrar” shows only libc, libstdc++, libgcc and rpmlib, nothing unexpected. I use the oss, non-oss and update repos.

unrar is in the non-oss repo, did you update that repo from 11.3? if oss was 11.4 and non-oss 11.3 that could explain it

Hi,

thanks for your anwers.

Here is what “zypper info --requires unrar” tells me :


(...)
Needs :
ibc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)
libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit)
libstdc++.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7)(64bit)
libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3)(64bit)
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)(64bit)
libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)(64bit)
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1

This is a “fresh” install of 11.4 from a DVD downloaded (and yes, i checked the installation media which is OK).

I put fresh between quotes because I elected to keep my /home dir.

Strange!

Hi
I installed from the Gnome LiveCD and saw unrar come in along with
other additional packages like flash, LibreOffice etc the first time
using YaST to add software.

What happens if you just do zypper in unrar from the command line.

“zypper install unrar” states 1 new package to install total size of 107.0, additional 239.0 Kib? and yast says 400mb?

you are running 64bit and the unrar you try installing in yast is the 64bit?

try cleaning your cache: zypper clean

what is the top of the cmd zypper info --requires unrar ?
will look like:
Information for package unrar: zypper clean

Repository: @System
Name: unrar
Version: 4.0.4-3.1
Arch: x86_64
Vendor: openSUSE
Installed: Yes

HI,

yes I know it sounds strange.

Here’s the first yast screen after choosing to install unrar :

SUSE Paste

Here’s the second screen when trying to install it : note the nbr of MBs remaining :

SUSE Paste

Thanks

lenwolf · March 13, 2011, 4:01pm

Well I don’t really know which version it wants to install…

I just went to yast, install software and got the two screens mentioned in my message above.

what is the top of the cmd zypper info --requires unrar ?
will look like:
Information for package unrar: zypper clean

Here’s the entire output :

zypper info --requires unrar

What happens if you just do zypper in unrar from the command line.

I don’t know yet, will that give me the chance to abort before it starts the operation?

Thanks!

Is this your first package install since doing a fresh install? iirc last time I did a dvd install after the initial install there were some added things added from the web repos

the things that are being install are a not related to unrar, probably rpm’s openSuse feels are important to be installeed but maybe weren’t in the dvd because of size constraints. And the 400mb is probably after compression

kde3 stuff
translations
documentation
etc…

lenwolf · March 13, 2011, 4:42pm

yes,this is the first install - but I did an update via the update applet already before that.

Yast->Online update shows no patches need to be updated.

Ah, but under the “instakllation summary”, I can see the same packages it wants to unstall also when I try to install unrar.

So, you’re right, these are packages that are supposed to be installed anyway, apaprently (why? and why aren’t they installed inmmediately?)

Well anyway, i’ve installed unrar via the “zypper in unrar” command as mentioned by malcolmlewis

It works now

Thanks to both of you for helping me out here!

Hi
That’s because some aren’t installed by default because they are not part of the oss repository but non-oss, so it takes an update to add along with dependencies. It’s also the same for users installing from the LiveCD (like me ) as not all packages fit, but it makes for a nice lean install base to work from and add the applications I need and cut down on clutter.
