How to repair this

Hi,

maybe you should post a bug report in bugzilla about this issue: Bugs:KDE - openSUSE

Have a lot of fun

I too am having this problem…however I just installed openSUSE KDE. I’m not sure if I need any other python libraries, but I was having the same problem with Fedora KDE.
Any ideas? I’m going to see if I have all of the python libraries that I need…

Ok so I’ve tried several things to get it working. Apparently the fix involves these files from this KDE kb article.

Error:

Could not create a python scriptengine for “your package name”

Solution: check if your plasma installation has the required files (plasma_importer.py, plasmascript.py) and the package python-dev is installed.

Packages for openSUSE are available in the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repository (python-kdebase4 and python-devel).

Source files: Index of /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/scriptengines/python

So I manually installed this repository:
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop.repo
then installed python-devel successfully
then I tried to install
python-kde4base
however I get this error message:

Problem: nothing provides libpython2.5.so.1.0 needed by python-kde4-4.2.88svn973768-65.2.i586
 Solution 1: do not ask to install a solvable providing python-kdebase4

After this I manually downloaded and installed libpython2.5.so.1.0, and I still get the message. I then tried:
locate libpython2.5.so.1.0
and found it here:
/opt/testing/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0
which is exactly where the rpm said it would install.

What am I missing here? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I’ve found that I have libpython2.6.so.1.0 in /usr/lib/, and I even tried copying libpython2.5.so.1.0 to /usr/lib then trying to install kdebase4…no luck.
