Problem installing rpm because of uppercase vs lowercase

English Applications
1

I’m trying to install: remarkable a markdown editor that I prefer over the ReText available in the opensuse repository.

https://remarkableapp.github.io/linux.html

I downloaded the rpm but:


> sudo zypper in downloads/rpms/remarkable-1.87-1.rpm 
[sudo] password for root:

Problem: nothing provides python3-markdown needed by remarkable-1.87-1.noarch
 Solution 1: do not install remarkable-1.87-1.noarch
 Solution 2: break remarkable-1.87-1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c

i+ | python3-markdown-math | Math extension for Python-Markdown  | package
   | python3-markdown2     | A Python implementation of Markdown | package

Is there a way of making the dependency: python3-markdown point to python3-Markdown, or make the rpm non-case sensitive?

Thanks

Hi
Not really, but since the files are installed in a lowercase directory (markdown), you should just ignore (select option 2) and install, the application should work fine.

No it doesn’t (opensuse Leap 15.2)

There is a fix here but implies editing the rpm database and I have not yet been bold enough to test it.

Hi
Your error is something completely different… is the gtksource typelib installed?

No it wasn’t, installing it changes the error, but does not solve it.

So now the problem is with Webkit.
I can’t find what package I have to install, so I tried with pip3, but it report just another error

andromeda:/home/fernando/tmp # pip install webkit 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pip", line 11, in <module>

    from pip._internal.index import (
ImportError: cannot import name 'FormatControl'
andromeda:/home/fernando/tmp #

So, I’m stuck.

Hi
The error indicates the issue, it’s another namespace one, look for the typelib name webkit :wink:
