fedora 24 error on install

[gmassimiani]

On fedora 24 (cinnamon) when I tries to install kde4-fedora the following error is returned: [root@localhost ~]# dnf copr enable peem/kde4-fedora

Fedora 24 release of the repo is not yet ready, hence it is not available, and not mentioned in description. There are some strange dependency that are delaying the release.

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

Package don't exist due to version not being released yet.

[gmassimiani]

Thanks for update only for info I have tried also in Fedora 23 (Cinnamon) and the error is the same

Regards

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

Ah, yes, you right.

I was suspecting that the issues I have are due to F24 copr repository not being reindexed after new packages are built, so I wanted to remove all builds of a certain package from repo. This indeed removed that package on all releases.

I will rebuild them ASAP. It may be as well that I just found the issue I had with F24 build so hopefully I will be able to release that too.

Regards Piotr

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

Rebuild for all releases.

Error: nothing provides kdeplasma-addons >= 3:4.14.3-6 needed by kde4-fedora-1.0-3.fc24.x86_6

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

Hi,

Yes, kdeplasma-addons is the package which does not want to build properly in F24 due to some changes in packages that it requires and conflicts with... However, F23 it should work fine..

Can you please provide the exact error you are getting in F23 ? I have noticed that in F22 I get a conflict with some of the plasma-nm packages, so I guess I need to recheck all distros. again.

Hello Piotr the error is exactly the same:

if you need a test, I can try to install kde4 also in Fedora 22. Some months ago instead I have succesfuly installed kde4 in another fedora 23

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

Hi,

It looks like F22 is fine, but F23 has some strange issues. kde4-fedora is meant to be a metapackage, but I never showed it much love, so it is not a best creation, however I'm getting confusing signals :

It looks to me as something in depsolver is not doing the good job, but it may be as well that some of my requirements are a tad circular. I'll keep looking into it.

Hello Piotr I have tried yesterday to install kde4-fedora in both fedora23 and fedora 24 and all worked fine today instead the repo seems to be not available

Regards

Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

Yes, I have worked on it slowly all the time since F24 release, and finally this week I think all issues should be solved. I don't know anything about repositories being unavailable, I have tested install on F24 just today and it worked fine for me. Tested F23 and F22 (of archived repo) yesterday, also fine.

I would assume there were some temporary connectivity issues from your location, perhaps ?

Let me know if it works now, as well as report any issues here, as I haven't tested much of functionality myself, just basics.

Regards, Piotr

[Piotr Gbyliczek]

It seems to be resolved now, install on vanilla OS with "KDE Plasma Workspaces" group installs without errors and removes right KF5 packages.

Waiting for some confirmation before closing.
