Hi there.
Just switched to Tumbleweed drom the “deb” side, so please forgive me if silly question.
The first thing I do after changing distro is installing some programs I do need for work.
two of them are Zoom and Webex.
I could easily install Zoom but I cannot understand what is wrong with Webex.
I download the rpm and run:
sudo zypper install $tmp_dir/Webex.rpm
and I get this error:
Problema: nessun elemento fornisce 'libXcomposite' obbligatorio per webex-42.6.0.22565-1.x86_64 da installare
(it’s localized in Italian but I think it is clear that it doesn’t find libXcomposite.
Trying do dig it outI tried:
uncledan@DESKTOP03:~> zypper se --provides libXcomposite Caricamento dati del repository in corso...
Lettura dei pacchetti installati in corso...

I am not able to give a hint about your problem (others may), but I can give you a hint about posting that code to show all in English instead of Italian. Precede the commands with LANG=C, lime e.g.
LANG=C zypper install $tmp_dir/Webex.rpm
And please do not separate command and output in two different CODE sections. Keep them together, only on sweep with the mouse doing copy/paste
Hi and welcome to the Forum
Select option 2 and you will be fine…
zypper in /data/repositories/Downloads/Webex.rpm
Problem: nothing provides 'libXcomposite' needed by the to be installed webex-42.6.0.22565-1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install webex-42.6.0.22565-1.x86_64
Solution 2: break webex-42.6.0.22565-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

The following 3 NEW packages are going to be installed:

Zypper search is for substrings by default. If you look at what these packages provide, they do not provide libXcomposite.

I did grab the libXcomposite build code directly from the rpm for Leap 15.2 and built the libXcomposite library and then ran “make install”
However still running “zypper in Webex.rpm” still comes up with the unsatisfied dependency “libXcompsite”
I did talk with Cisco officially and they said 2 things: openSuse NOT supported and problem is openSuse, not them
I know that to get Cisco to support openSuse will take much $$$$$$$ (which I do not have)
Do we have any way of carefully working this through? Yast2 reports that both LibXcomposite library and development files are installed, so Webex.rpm should NOT complain.
I did take another look at this using the dnf command (from yum) and it stated about a dozen unsatisfied dependencies.
I am most interested in learning a procedure, whereby we can satisfy the webex rpm package from complaining about this unsatisfied dependency.
