kpowersave (lib problem)

[Master of Reality]

I'm trying to run kpowersave (installed it with --nodeps ), its telling me that i dont have libdbus-qt-1.so.1 which i can see is in /usr/lib

Err... theres something wrong here, anyone know how to fix this?

Why would you install it with '--nodeps'? That is something you just don't want to do. Either install the dependencies or rebuild the source RPM so it's built against the libraries you do have installed.

Is it a 64-bit package?

[Master of Reality]

no, but its not a 64-bit OS either.

[Void Main]

Can you give me the exact full package name and where you got if from?

[Master of Reality]

I downloaded all the latest packages from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/powersave/
There is the powersave source, kpowersave rpm and the fedora requirements.

But when i install powersave from source, and dbus from source, the RPMS won't install because they are missing powersave and dbus as dependencies.

Is this because RPM cant use source packages as dependencies (ie they need to be installed from an rpm)?

If thats the case then installing kpowersave with --nodeps should be fine because its depencies really are there....?

Well it's fine for that one package but what it does is breaks the entire dependency tree. What should be done in this case is create an RPM of the dependent source *or* edit the spec file on the kpowersave to not require that dependency and then install it. I will try and get some RPMs built for you today and put them in my apt repository so your dependency tree will not be broken.

EDIT: All the needed RPMS are on sourceforge. I just downloaded and installed the following without a problem:

dbus-qt3-0.61-3.FC5.i386.rpm
kpowersave-0.6.0-1.FC5.i386.rpm
powersave-0.12.11-1.FC5.i386.rpm
powersave-libs-0.12.11-1.FC5.i386.rpm
cpufreq-utils-0.4-1.1.21.FC4.i386.rpm

So, I guess I don't need to rebuild anything unless you want me to.

[Master of Reality]

The only one missing is dbus. So i used 'rpmbuild --rebuild' to install it from the src rpm after installing pyrex and audit-libs-devel (its dependencies) with SmartPM.

Now dbus-qt3 gives me a failed dependency of "dbus-0.61-3" and when i do 'rpm -qa | grep dbus' that exact package comes up as being installed.

[Void Main]

I didn't have to mess with dbus, it was already installed and included with Fedora (or the updates). Here's the dbus packages I currently have installed:

Code: Select all

$ rpm -qa | grep dbus
dbus-0.61-3
dbus-glib-0.61-3
dbus-python-0.61-3
dbus-x11-0.61-3
dbus-devel-0.61-3
dbus-qt3-0.61-3


Again, all of those were already installed on my system (and were packaged by Red Hat as part of the official Fedora release) except for dbus-qt3 which I got from the sourceforge link you gave me. It did not give me any
dependency issues when I installed the rest of the packages.

So you should have been able to install the Red Hat ones with apt (or yum) and then installed the binary dbus-qt3 from sourceforge:

The links with a list of all the non Red Hat files I mentioned are here:

[Master of Reality]

i told smart to install dbus-qt3 for me and it downgraded the dbus packages (from the updates rpms to core os)

[Void Main]

So is it working now? Is your system up to date with all the latest updates?

[Master of Reality]

Yep it works, everything is up to date except dbus... but i think its the same version number as the rpms from updates so im not too sure if its the absolute latest or not.
