Having trouble installing AtomicParsley. I have found an opensuse rpm version but cannot install it using zypper for some reason. Downloaded a copy but when I try and install I get asked for License details. This has happened a few times. Please could somebody explain why and how to overcome.
Hi
What do you mean by License details? Is the package asking when you install, or when you run?
Why not ask the question in get_iplayer ML
Since that’s probably why you are installing it?
I see this package is built in the Ubuntu PPA of get_iplayer here
https://launchpad.net/~jon-hedgerows/+archive/get-iplayer/+packages
Jon is very active in the get_iplayer ML
Hi Malcolm,
I have had this happen on several different downloads. I start zypper on the rpm to try and install and after checking the dependencies I press continue and the message “License Agreement Required” appears in the blue box and nothing further happens.
Hi Carl,
You are correct and I shall try there also. The download I has was from ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/sunny007/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/AtomicParsley-0.9.0-9.9.x86_64.rpm.
For some reason it is not available from openSUSE 12.1 repo although it is on earlier versions.
Thanks for the heads up.

On any package?

Not on any package and I could not tell you which ones have failed. What would be the correct command line for zypper to install from console in verbose mode. That might give me a clue.

start with “zypper --help”. It would be “zypper install package_name”,
assuming the package is in a repo; and for more options, “zypper install
–help”

Hi Robin,
Tried this but it didn’t work properly AFAIK. The original problem is I see subject of a thread in Applications concerning installing rpms http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/468026-opensuse-12-1-issue-installing-rpm.html?highlight=apper
The solution given there is :-
For people who are new to opensuse the complete path is: start menu - > Applications -> Configure Desktop - > File Associations -> Search for rpm -> Select x-rpm under application -> In Application Preference Order select “Install/Remove Software” and click “Move Up” until it’s on the first position.
My problem is that I cannot find “Configure Desktop>File Associations” etc. Looked everywhere but cannot find x-rpm anywhere let alone move it up. I must be thick as everyone else on the thread has made it work. Any further help would be great.

Ah, what you want is install an rpm that you already have downloaded,
that’s different. What I do is I use the command line command “rpm”
directly, so I can not help you with a “mouse” method. Further, I do not
understand how can this be related with a license dialog problem.

Working in the directory of the .rpm you want to install, right click in
dolphin > Actions > open terminal here
In the terminal do su (without the - )
to become su in that location.
now type
rpm -ivh packagename
(once you start typing the packagename, if you hit TAB it should auto
complete)
Hi,
Thats more like it but this is what happened:-
error: Failed dependencies:
AtomicParsley <= 0.9.0 is obsoleted by (installed) AtomicParsley-0.9.0-9.9.x86_64
Clearly my earlier attempts have messed things up. How do I uninstall please so I can start again?
Not sure how dependencies are managed. BTW It was apper which gave me the License message but before it did there was a string of about 12 dependencies identified which I accepted. Looks like they are not installed.
Thanks for the help.

Budgie

You can add at the end
–nodeps or --force
Not ideal !
Hi,
Sorted at last. Using rpm ensured that yast was aware. Used yast to delete broken version of AtomicParsley then deleted apper which is cause of all the problems as has been reported elsewhere in this forum. Having done that clicking on rpm started yast in usual way and install proceeded without a hitch.

No, ignoring dependencies would cause the program not to work. In this
case, there being a previous version, it should be better to ask for an
upgrade rather than install, or remove first. It would be -U instead of -i.
And then, there being dependencies, there would be need to add the
necessary rpms.
Yast can install from the command line a local package and add the
necessary dependencies:
yast --install somepackage.rpm
And somehow this is what happened to Budgie2 when he clicked on the rpm.
And there should be an incantation to do the same with zypper.

zypper install somepackage.rpm
does the same and resolves missing dependencies from the configured
repositories.

No, that installs a package from the repositories, will not install a
package in the current directory. It is different.

I use that all the time to install packages from a local or the current
directory, so you can believe me that it works exactly that way or just
try it yourself.

I forgot to add that to downgrade a package with this method one has to
add the option --force
zypper install --force somepackage.rpm
it will still resolve dependencies but accepts to replace the package
with an older version.

Ok, it works. I’m very much surprised, because there was a recent thread
where this did not work.
