In the last day or so, Octave version 4.0 became available from the Science repo. Update is good and works no problem, however if I attempt to install any of the packages such as database or image the Yast process demands a library liboctinterp so 2 which cannot be satisfied, so it wants to drag me back to the previous 3.8.2 version. It’s quite possible that the packages will be updated in due course so I just have to be patient, or my config is bad and I need to take more drastic action. Anyone else in the same boat?
Hi
Looking at the build info here;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary/science/octave?arch=x86_64&filename=octave-cli-4.0.0-99.1.x86_64.rpm&repository=openSUSE_13.2
octave-cli provides liboctinterp.so.3 now
I’m guessing you have ocatve-forge installed as well? If so this package is in a failed state and has not rebuilt using octave-devel 4.0.
Thanks for comment.
Actually no, I don’t have that installed, I deliberately nuked everything related to Octave to allow a fresh reload of whatever is available. In Yast, all the packages are now shown in parentheses, which may indicate out of date status.
You are right, the liboctinterp so is now at 3 so the request for so 2 is now bad. All packages need to be rebuilt, and I am sure that this will be done soon. Pity the update was just before a weekend, but not a problem, just have to be patient.
New octave-forge packages are not ready, we still discuss packaging details. Temporary you can use my repository Welcome - openSUSE Build Service
