After a distribution update a week ago I can’t install Telegram anymore:

zypper install telegram-desktop
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libprotobuf-lite.so.32.0.0()(64bit)' needed by the to be installed telegram-desktop-6.1.4-2.2.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install telegram-desktop-6.1.4-2.2.x86_64
 Solution 2: break telegram-desktop-6.1.4-2.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

What can I do ?

@MarioBlunk It fails to build…https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/telegram-desktop it also needs updating by the looks…

3

It seems there is nobody in charge for the issue. What is the problem ? Can I help in some way ?

4

You could branch the package and update etc?

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean.

I wonder why there are not more complains regarding Telegram on Suse Tumbleweed. The latest snapshots of Tumbleweed (since about one month) are not providing a working Telegram Client anymore.

As in branch to current package on the openSUSE Build Service, build, test and if all ok, submit the fixed package.

Have no idea, don’t use… Maybe folks use a flatpak version?

I’m one of them. It’s working fine, regularly updated.

I’m on tumbleweed, all was fine until a week ago when I had to change my SSD. Reinstalling Tumbleweed from the start (willing to use disk encryption and btrfs) I had the same trouble with Telegram complaining about missing libprotobuf-lite.so.32.0.0()(64bit).
So, I think that in older installation all is fine because libprotobuf-lite.so.32.0.0 is preserved through updates, while new installations complains about it missing.

weakremover(libprotobuf-lite32_0_0-32bit)
weakremover(libprotobuf-lite32_1_0)
weakremover(libprotobuf-lite32_1_0-32bit)

It is marked for removal during zypper dup so it is unclear how it could survive (unless you were using some old Tumbleweed snapshot and did not update). The oldest available snapshot already has only 32.1, not 32.0.

Hello. I use the official AppImage version of Telegram and it works well. I have never had any problems with this version.

Well, I had my Tumbleweed updated every day, and I didn’t have any issue until I dismissed the old SDD, even if libprotobuf-lite changed the minor version, and I missed this change.
The real issue is that, with the repo I have after the new installation, I found only

libprotobuf-lite3_21_12
libprotobuf-lite33_1_0
libprotobuf-lite33_1_0-32bit

no v32.0.0, nor v32.1.0 is present.

I installed Telegram via Flatpak (as described at How To Install Telegram on openSUSE - idroot). It works fine. However I wonder how an ordinary user - who knows only Windows - will ever be able to accomplish that…

13

@MarioBlunk Don’t know, that’s probably something to ask on a Windows forum… this is an openSUSE forum? :wink:

14

Imagine you are used to Windows and now you are tired of Windows and want to get Telegram on OpenSuse. Without some commandline expertise you are completely lost. But you are right, this is a question that should be discussed somewhere else. :slight_smile:

15

Come and ask here or the other Communication channels openSUSE has :wink:

KDE Discover and GNOME Software both natively support Flatpaks.
