Hi,

I've tried to upgrade to the latest version of Amarok, but i get an error message I can't solve. I run OpenSUSE 10.3 x86_64 and KDE 3.5.9. I get 34 dependencies the system can't find or install. Does anybody have a clue what this is?

Dag

Noone else will be able to solve your problems either, unless these mysterious error messages say anything useful...

Sorry, here is a copy of the usolved dependencies:

Do you have the KDE 4 packages installed?  I'm running 3.5.8, but I've got the libraries and **** for 4 installed because it solved a lot of problems with dependencies for me.

dagr, you might need to check which repositories you have enabled

My best guess is that something has been left out of the main update repository because interestingly I found the following work around for the openSUSE 10.3 i586 architecture: I added the additional repository -> http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/

After adding this repository (via YaST's Software Repositories tool) I was able to update Amarok from 1.4.7-37.4 to 1.4.9.1-100.pm.1 (provided by the Packman Repository).

Please note that I already had the Packman Repository installed.

Warning: This is not an official work around. This was merely a temporary experiment. The best fix would undoubtedly be for someone to sort out the default Main Update Repository (http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... /standard/).

Final note: The above work around also fixed a similar kipi-plugins problem.

New tests suggest that the missing links (relevant to the Amarok 1.4.9.1 upgrade) in the default Main Update Repository (http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... /standard/) have now been fixed.
Hopefully this means that as long as you have the Packman repository enabled you should now be able to upgrade as normal without having to add the Göttingen update repository/mirror (http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/).
