libQtWebkit4 version issues

mniasfreemag · October 18, 2011, 12:51pm

Hi all,
I have opensuse 11.4 installed with KDE 4.7 repos enabled. I have a problem with the libQtWebKit4 package. In the KDE 4.7 core repo the version number is 2.1.90-2.1. But in the opensuse11.4 Update repo the version number is 4.7.1-8.15.1. Every time I update my packages I am running into package dependency errors. My current KDE version is 4.7.4. I was reading through the webkit webpage and there is a message indicating that before Qt 4.7, there was not a separate libQtWebKit4 package. Is there any way the version number can be synced between the Kde 4.7 repo and the 11.4 update repo, because it is very confusing.

Thanks

Well the 4 version is the latest. This is included in:-

Index of /repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.4/x86_64

Do you mean that you are using kde 4.7.2 as 4.7.4 has not been released yet!

What repos are you using?

I recently faced this same problem (see http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technicall-help-here/applications/466372-libqt4-security-update.html). The update presented as a “Security Update”, “libqt4 security update” under “Security” in YAST. I have marked the update as “Taboo - never install” without subsequent issue.

I have the same problem that “zypper lp” show this:

But a “zypper patch” shows this problem

libQtWebKit4-4.7.1-8.15.1.i586 requires libqt4-x11 = 4.7.1, but this
requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers:
libqt4-x11-4.7.1-7.1.i586[oss] libqt4-x11-4.7.1-8.15.1.i586[update]

and a “yes” in this case will deinstall the most of the packages from
this repo:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/47/openSUSE_11.4/

At the moment a search for libQtWebKit-devel show this:

It seems that the patch wants to update a package which is not
installed

It appears that I was wrong in thinking that zypper patch respected vendor,
instead it changes. I believe that is a bug, you could try reporting in
bugzilla.

Oh, this vendor change could be come from my zypp.conf:

solver.allowVendorChange = true

I prefer to handle such situations with the priority of the repo and
now i’m unsure if this is a bug or what i risk if i change this in the
configuration. But this is not a problem for me and i can wait until
the big work for 12.1 is over.

Patches be seldom and if i have to do a “zypper patch” than zypper by
itself offers to ignore the patch for libQtWebKit-devel. A “zypper up”
don’t show me this.

Thanks for the reply guys,
I am using the regular KDE 4.7 repos and not the factory repos.

Upon further researching I found that Qtwebkit was split and started having its own version number starting from Qt version 4.7. It seems that there is some version number conflict from the developers. Also when I looked into the URL line in technical data tab ( in YAST) , the libqtwebkit version 4.7.* has the url as QT software’s Store | Sofware for Research & Development while the 2.1.* version has it at webkit.org. So I think I will stick to the 2.1.* version for now.
