autokey install fails

Hi,

Trying to install autokey from
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Adnh&package=autokey
results in
Download (curl) error for ‘https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:dnh/openSUSE_Leap_42.3_standard/home:dnh.repo’:
Error code: Bad URL

Changing the URL to “http://…” instead of “https://…” successfully adds the repo but after “zypper refresh” and “zypper install autokey” it says:
‘autokey’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘autokey’ found.

Asking for suggestions to successfully install autokey! :wink:

This was discussed recently. It is consequence of openSUSE redirecting HTTPS to HTTP and zypper accepting only “secure” redirects (HTTPS to HTTPS).

‘autokey’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘autokey’ found.

That’s correct - there is no binary package with name “autokey”. Should there be one?

This is the proper url: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dnh/openSUSE_Leap_42.3_standard/

So to add this repo by way of zypper:

zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dnh/openSUSE_Leap_42.3_standard/ home:dnh

Do this as root:

su -

And don’t forget to refresh before you actually download and install autokey:

zypper ref;zypper in autokey-common

Hope I’m not forgetting anything and hope this helps.

I’m wondering, now, why you went with home:dnh? I did a software search and found the following: https://software.opensuse.org/package/autokey

Thanks You for Your immediate responses!

@ kerijan2003:
Your instruction worked successfully after uninstalling all remainders if my previous tries including autokey 0.93.10 remnants. :wink:

This URL provides three autokey version as src.rpm packages, none of which I succeeded to install, among others because of some python3-dbus-(something). Trying to solve this issue brought up information about having to install python >= 3.5 which I manage to install as optional package (in /opt !) only. So I guess I somewhat messed up the install.

My fault. I didn’t notice it was sources.
