Hi,
I'm trying to install frgnome-2.14.3 using slapt-get from ISO download,
but when I follow the simple steps outlined I get into dependency problems:
root at galaxy:~# slapt-get --install frgnome
Reading Package Lists... Done
Excluding frgnome, use --ignore-dep to override
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
frgnome-desktop-reqs: Depends: polypaudio
The following packages have been EXCLUDED:
frgnome
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Done
It turns out that polypaudio has changed name to pulseaudio, and look:
root at galaxy:~# slapt-get --search pulseaudio
gst-pulse-0.9.2-i486-1frg [inst=no]: gst-pulse (PulseAudio GStremer Plugin)
libao-pulse-0.9.3-i486-1frg [inst=no]: libao-pulse (PulseAudio libao Plugin)
pulseaudio-0.9.2-i486-1frg [inst=no]: pulseaudio (Advanced network sound server)
pulseaudio-tools-0.9.2-i486-2frg [inst=no]: pulseaudio-tools (Tools to interact with PulseAudio)
xmms-pulse-0.9.2-i486-1frg [inst=no]: xmms-pulse (PulseAudio Output Plugin)
So, pulseaudio is included in the ISO but frgnome-desktop-reqs depends on polypaudio!!!
What would be the simplest way around this problem? I'm thinking I could somehow
tweak the dependency settings, but the ISO has everything built, including PACKAGES.TXT.
Maybe a small edit of the line "PACKAGE REQUIRED" in package-data?
Regards
Per
