Missing packet after deb to rpm conversion

[hnimmo]

I converted a debian linux (deb) package to rpm using alien. However, on trying to install the resulting rpm package there was an error:

nothing provides 'libQt5Qml.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed <package name> 

From where might I get the missing package?
Incidentally, a previous version of the deb package could be converted successfully and had been working under Leap 15.6.

Where is my problem?

How do you install the rpm? The complete terminal in-/output from your installation attempt is missing. Do you use zypper or rpm?

[Sauerland]

Also:
which package have you converted?

URL of the downloaded deb-Package.

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libQt5Qml.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed synology-drive-7.5.2-16112.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install synology-drive-7.5.2-16112.x86_64
 Solution 2: break synology-drive-7.5.2-16112.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Your old thread:

Missing files during rpm installation

During installation of an rpm package that has been converted from deb using alien, I’m getting an error message: " nothing provides ‘lIb@at5@ml.s0.5(@t_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)’ needed by the to be installed synology-drive-7.4.0-15725.x86_64 " What must I fear in this case? From where could I get the missing package?

@Sauerland

Your old thread:
Missing files during rpm installation

Sorry, yes. This was a previous attempt, that I abandoned at the time and successfully continued with the old working version of the app. Honestly, I had forgotten the previous forum exchange. One year later, I now I have no working version of the app, presumably, because of the missing header declaration package.

[Sauerland]

So:
same Problem here as in the old thread.

alien can be used to convert “light” programms, but I never would install a converted package for something like NAS or so.

I use the Fedora src.rpm from here:

Set up your Build in your /home:

How to download source package using Zypper

I build packages as user in my /home directory, so you can set it up with: mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros echo '%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp' >> ~/.rpmmacros All executed as User, SRPMS is the directory for the build src.rpms RPM is the directory for the to install packages (installation as root) after building without errors SPEC is the directory for the spec-file SOURCES is the directory for all sources, patches and …

Maybe this one:
GitHub - EmixamPP/synology-drive: Unofficial RPM package of Synology Drive Client

I tried to configure the repo, but failed

# dnf copr enable emixampp/synology-drive
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Sauerland]

Method 1 in the github is only for Fedora.

Method 2 is to build it on your Computer.

But easier is my next thread to build it from the src.rpm.

[hnimmo]

Wow! Method 2 works. Well explained.
