Wine auto update under Suse 10.3

[fredsie]

The above has been working perfectly since I first installed Wine last year, successfully installing the updates which appear sometimes on a daily basis. It uses the main Suse 10.3 repositories, plus

software.opensuse.org/download/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_10.3/

However in the last couple of weeks the updates have all failed, giving a "missing dependencies" message showing many missing modules. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via YaST; the same dependency failures occur preventing the reinstall.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try installing missing dependencies.

Try installing missing dependencies.

Well that's what the fresh install should do. Looking in more detail it seems that the sources the install is looking for aren't present in the Suse repository in the locations it's using - "no installable source for ...".

Have you disabled/removed any repositories lately?

Try installing the dependencies individually rather than relying on YaST to grab them automatically.

BTW, if the message from YaST says something about a vendor change, go ahead and accept it. It just means that YaST found the dependency in a different repository.

You might also want to clean up your package database. Run

Code: Select all

su
rpm --rebuilddb

from the command line.

Beyond that, you may want to upgrade openSUSE. 10.3 is getting pretty old, and some of the libraries available for it (libgnutls in particular) are outdated. I upgraded to 11.1 a few weeks ago for precisely that reason.

Thanks, I think you may well be right about moving on from 10.3.

I'm sure this is not really a dependencies error since the attempted install reports a huge range of things missing, and they can't all just have disappeared (especially as the existing install of Wine was still running fine).

Further to this, I've just run the updater again for the latest Wine upgrade and it worked fine!. Go figure.

I'm having precisely the same problem trying to update wine on Suse
10.3 whereas it has always worked since prior to wine 1.0 Gustav.

Well at least it's not just me.

Gustav, I suggest you try it again as something seems to have been fixed in the latest update.

I downloaded the latest version of wine from winehq - I also use
openSuSE 10.3 on a 64-bit system. I can't install it either 0 see below.

andrew@zeus:~/Download/RPM$ sudo rpm --install wine-1.1.24-4.1.i586.rpm

Yes and I imagine you already have libgnutls.so.26 installed.

There's a slightly newer package in the 10.3 repository now, wine-1.1.24-5.1.i586.rpm; try that. And make sure that you have the latest libgnutls installed.

If that doesn't work, you should contact the package maintainer. http://www.winehq.org/site/download

Yes, now it worked fine.. Now no dependency problems at all. Gustav
