Thread: kbd

**jazmiel** · 28-Nov-2016, 06:29

Hello

Update package manager keeps trying to install update for the package kbd, for several months now, but every time gives me this:

Code:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallido: error: package kbd-1.15.5-9.2.x86_64 is not installed

even though it is installed. Can you help me fix this? Thanks

I did it but gave me the very same response. In Yast I see this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz...FZRazZ2RWs3UmM
Is there something I can do?
Thank you

You repo list looks OK to me.

Now let us check about kbd, because that picture you showed does not schow everything because there is something to scroll there. As root:

Code:

LANG=C zypper se -s --match-exact kbd

Very strange. It is installed several times. That should not be possible.

In any case it points me to the fact that there are two the same repos in your list. #5 and #14!

Better remove #14 and then repeat the last step to see what is left of that list.

I am not using Leap 42.1. Can anybody else please jump in and tell what (s)he has installed as kbd version?

(btw, you can stop showing those smileys, they don't help).

It is if you run "rpm -i" manually with different package versions.

Or the rpm database got corrupted somehow.

Yes, that explains why the same versions are shown as installed twice.
That's only cosmetical though.

I concur, having the same repo twice gains you nothing and just uses more disk space and time (when the repos are refreshed).

I am not using Leap 42.1. Can anybody else please jump in and tell what (s)he has installed as kbd version?

That's not at all specific to Leap 42.1 I suppose (though according to the zypper output, the latest version in 42.1 should be 1.15.5-15.1), and it is impossible to tell what's *really* installed (i.e. as files on the hard disk).

I would suggest to "force remove" all installed kbd packages, and then freshly install the newest available one.

Code:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps kbd
sudo zypper in kbd

If there's an error message, please post it.
And if not, please post the output of "LANG=C zypper se -s --match-exact kbd" again to see if it helped.

**hcvv** · 01-Dec-2016, 04:55

I concur with you, but I was a bit afraid that removing all kbd packages before installing the new (and only) one, the OP could get stuck in using his keyboard.

And with "impossible" i did not mean 'physical impossible: (because it is what we see), but that it should not happen. More or less a sign to the OP, that even even it is repaired, he must realize that somewhere something went wrong. And it is better to understand what to avoid it in the future.
