libxml2.so.2 needed

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi
I have a dependency problem on my M5 when I try online update to some packages like amarok…
and libxml2.so.2 is also needed for chromium installation
the problem is that I couldn’t intall libxml2 from the rpm found in download.opensuse.org
I’ve also tried to compile it from src package from here : ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/

but I get this error

las@linux-rv87:~/Downloads/libxml2-2.7.8> ./configure

did you have this dependency error (libxml2.so.2)? and how did you solve it ?

#2

In order to better understand any dependency error, we need the output of the command:

zypper lr -d
#3

I need to pay better attention to posts. i.e. you are using M5.

Its not unusual for M5 packman packages to have dependency problems.

#4

As for the configure error you are getting, you do not appear to have gcc installed. Try zypper install gcc make automake cmake to install come common build utilities and then running configure again.

#5

As opposed to using ./configure, make and make install, another way is to obtain the spec file for the rpm and rebuild it …

ie something like (with libxm2 spec file version from 11.3 copied to your hard drive) …

rpmbuild --rebuild libxml2-2.7.7-3.6.src.rpm

That does not always work, but sometimes it does.

#6

Ok, I’ve installed libxml2-.2.7.8 but I still got problem with dependecy libxml2.so.2 and others (perl) while perl repository is enabled.

#7

What problem with the dependency ? Is it looking for a version other than 2.7.8 ? What are you doing when you get the dependency error ? Is this when still trying to install amarok ?

Its really not possible to help with a dearth of information. Perhaps you could provide more detail as to what the error exactly says ?

Another thought - is there any particular test that you are trying to do, that requires you to complete this ? Or is it intended as only a learning exercise ?

OpenSUSE Milestones are not production verisons, and hence encountering such errors with 3rd party packaged applications (such as those packaged by Packman) are not uncommon.

#8

This is a screenshot of the issue:
http://i51.tinypic.com/2dv244.png

I’ve even changed some repositories urls to Factory instead of 11.3 (mozilla, packman…)

#9

This reads to me that your repos are totally messed.

Amarok ‘just’ installed for me on M5. I had to do nothing special. It simply installed. If you had problems, my view is you had some additional repos in place when you tried the install, and that messed things up.

#10

Amarok is installed but it needs update.
I’ll try to install perl

#11

You will have to provide useful detail if you wish anyone to provide help. Where are you trying to update Amarok from ? What repository?

Why ?

#12

I’m not trying to update, the system is trying to:
I get kpackagekit applet notification in the notification bar as shown in the picture, when I click update packages, i get that error.
and there are a lot of dependency errors.
If you need any other information let me know
and thank you for help :slight_smile:

#13

I feel like I’m being spoon fed. … Sorry. … This is the 1st you mentioned kpackagekit. Why are were you trying to compile in your 1st post, when you are now talking of kpackagekit updates? I’m totally confused.

Can you also post here your repos ? ie output of :

zypper lr -d

as I am very suspicious that is causing some of this

#14

I experienced this problem when attempting to upgrade to 4.6 RC2 on an 11.4 MS5 install. As that install had been kicked around a bit, I decided to freshl install the MS5 DVD. Install (Gnome) went smoothly, all updates applied, and I introduced the latest kernel, all without incident.

 Solution 2: break strigi by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c] (c): c

Attempting to install from the /Factory/openSUSE_Factory/ KDE repo kicks out:

Problem: nothing provides shared-mime-info >= 0.90 needed by kdelibs4-4.5.95-362.1.x86_64

for many other modules.

KDE 4.6 RC2 installed cleanly on my 11.3 64-bit (lso with the 2.6.37 kernel). The few references I found to “libxml2.so.2” were relatively old posts, and “shared-mime-info” dated back to 2004.

Any ideas are appreciated. Since this is a clean install, re-installation is only ~20 minutes.

Looks like you are mixing 11.3, 11.4 and Factory repositories.

If you want KDE-4.6.0-rc2 on an 11.4-Milestone base with the 2.6.37 kernel; you could remove all of your repositories and then:


zypper ar  http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/  openSUSE-11.4-Oss
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/  openSUSE-11.4-Update
zypper ar  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/  Kernel:HEAD
zypper ar  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/  KDE:Distro:Factory

zypper ref
zypper dup

That should get everything working – you can add non-OSS later. I generally prefer to refresh repositories manually on an “unstable” system.

#16

I eye-balled the -oss and -update repos (straight from the install), and unless I missed something, they appear correct.

It appears that “libxml2.so.2” dependency is resolved, though 87 problems, primarily the “shared-mime-info”, remain.

#17

@SeanMc98********

if you had zypper rr everything, you would have gotten rid of the custom priorities and disabled repositories that hamper zypper from solving the dependencies and installing the latest versions.

zypper dup -r KDE_4.6_RC2_Factory
prevents the dependencies being resolved by getting additional packages from repo OSS. You have to use all the required repos. This is why you are trying to use kdelibs4-4.5.95-362.1.i586.

Just follow the instructions and (hopefully) get it working. Then you can fiddle with YaST and break it any way you want!

No errors, no warnings, and KDE is 4.5.85 (4.6 Beta2). I went back and repeated the KDE 4.6 RC2 on an 11.3 without issue. What am I missing here ?
