Shutter needs perl repo which wasn't found by the package search suse website

Using Tumbleweed, Was installing latest shutter from the X11:Utilities repo and it required perl2-gnome, which cant be found for tumbleweed via the package search website.
I had to go manually find the tumbleweed repo, if you searched the directories @ at opensuse.org/repositories/devel/languages/perl/OpenSUSE_Tumbleweed

Not sure how I open this as a bug, this should be an easier experience for users to find this software and its dependencies.

Doing a zypper info --requires shutter, then seeing it needs perl-gnome2 then searching package website for perl-gnome2, then only finding leap and 13.2 not tumbleweed repo, but it did exist. Seems like an issue.

Any thoughts on this from the suse experts.

Thanks,
-Brook

try this
https://software.opensuse.org/package/perl-Gnome2
perl-Gnome2 seams to be part of the official distribution
maybe you need to update your distribution

I have that repo installed, the perl-Gnome2 isnt actually there.

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/ has only two files

perl-Gnome2-GConf-1.044-13.4.x86_64.rpm 25-Aug-2015 13:27 68K Details
perl-Gnome2-VFS-1.082-3.5.x86_64.rpm 08-Oct-2015 09:04 163K Details

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/ has all the files.

yes
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/snapshot/x86_64/perl-Gnome2-1.042-9.3.x86_64.rpm
is a dead link, I think this is a bugzilla moment

Agreed 953640 – Tumbleweed oss repo broken and missing perl-gnome2, tumbleweed search doesnt show perl2-gnome in devel/lang/perl/

Any luck yet with installing Shutter on Thumbleweed?

Build it by yourself, needed packages are in my Repo:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Sauerland

But you can also use spectacle which replaced ksnapshot.

Hi
At the moment perl-Gtk2-unique has not made it to Tumbleweed, hence shutter won’t either…

Works here with Tumbleweed, shutter from X11:Utilities and perl-Gtk2-unique from devel:languages:perl


wget -c http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_Factory/noarch/shutter-0.93.1-63.3.noarch.rpm
wget -c http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Utilities/openSUSE_Factory/noarch/shutter-lang-0.93.1-63.3.noarch.rpm
wget -c http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/perl-Gtk2-Unique-0.05-6.1.x86_64.rpm
su -
cd <download location for above files>
zypper in shutter-0.93.1-63.3.noarch.rpm shutter-lang-0.93.1-63.3.noarch.rpm perl-Gtk2-Unique-0.05-6.1.x86_64.rpm

Unless a package manifest is just plain broken,
IMO it should be general knowledge that the special repo for that particular language (Perl in your case) should be installed.

I’ve mentioned it many times in the Forums, and also in various Wiki pages I’ve created (the following describes this principle installing Ruby)
https://en.opensuse.org/User:Tsu2/Install_Ruby#When_do_I_need_to_install_Ruby.3F
and nodejs
https://en.opensuse.org/User:Tsu2/nodejs#Using_nodeenv

but the same conditions apply to other languages…

  • A library file or dependency is missing
  • You need later versions than what is in the main repos
  • You are either Developing or are building a very large application which requires recent versions of dependencies.

Hi
In this case I think it’s little different, shutter is/was part of Tumbleweed, in this case because perl-Gtk2-unique is required, this dependency has not made it to Tumbleweed (awaiting submit request to be accepted since 2 weeks ago) so shutter is not present in Tumbleweed, it will arrive once the perl package is accepted… My post was just a workaround…
