Hello,
When I update or install a rpm in yast2 I always get the same
messages: ‘package requires rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
but can’t provide this dependancy’ or ‘package requires librpm-4.4.so but can’t provide this dependancy’
I can’t find rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) and I don’t understand the second one librpm-4.4.so because It’s installed already with rpm-4.4.2.3-20.1
I don’t have any clue about this.
Hi,
it looks like you are trying to install packages compiled for a different suse version but it’s just a guess. Maybe you should tell which suse version you are using, which package you want to install and the output of zypper lr -d.
I am using openSUSE 11.1 but it seems to be the same for any packages.
here is the log of zypper:

If it were me, I would remove all those in Red. For certain keep those in green. Those with no colour could be kept , as they are unlikely to cause dependency conflicts.
Keeping additional repos that are unnecessary is just asking for trouble.
In case you did not know, there is very little testing done on most rpms from those repos in red.
I deactivated those in red like you suggested and It fixed the problem, thanks.
I need some package on other third-parties but I will care if they
require that dependancy
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
Some packages require this but It don’t even seems to exist in any ‘rpm’ packs.

ow, the colors do not come through for nntp users…so, for those
users i hereby pass along:
with reference to oldcpu’s post:
green–keep 10, 12, 13, & 15
red–remove 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17 & 18
no color–either, you choose: 3 & 8

I remember a while ago (when openSUSE 11.0) was released, that the rpm payload format was changed from bz2 to lzma, (so the rpm package itself had to be upgrded before upgrading the distro). In any case, care has to be taken when trying to install rpm packages manually, that they are built for your distro version.
