gnumeric-1.12.9 missing dependencies Slacko64 6.3.2 (Solved)

#1 Post by RickGT351 »

Here's the report I got after installing gnumeric from PPM after updating
Packages succesfully Installed or Downloaded
at-spi2-atk-2.8.1
at-spi2-core-2.8.0
gnumeric-1.12.9
gtk+3-3.8.2
python-2.7.14
python-2.7.3-i686-s
python-2.7.5

Packages that failed to be Installed or Downloaded, or were aborted be the user


Missing Shared Libraries
libdb-4.8.so
libgoffice-0.10.so.10
libtcl8.6.so
libtk8.6.so

Existing Libraries that may be in a location other than /lib and /usr/lib
I tried to find these files with PPM but had no success. I am using a live cd so sfs fles are problematic

Hi RickGT351.

I'd try rummaging at pkgs.org. It's a great repo for anything missing.

For example, they have
https://pkgs.org/download/libdb-4.8.so
(click on the openSuse 13.2 label)

No guarantees since it's not the same distro, but it could work.

Similarly:
https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/ ... 2864bit%29
(to increase compatibility, go for an older Fedora?)

or

https://www.ask.com/web?o=0&l=dir&qo=se ... +slackware

Or search directly in one of the slackware repos mentioned at top right of
your PPM.

IHTH. BFN.

I'll second musher0 on that, about pkgs.org. It is a good place for missing stuff.

Do be aware, though, that a lot of the stuff on there is the very latest version.....and therefore usually requires newer dependencies of its own. I've used it on several occasions, but very often the missing item you want is not available in the distribution you've selected, so you try something else similar that is.....and you end up going for quite an extended 'lib-chase' before everything's happy.

Pkgs.org seems to be more for the RPM-based distros (RedHat, Fedora, Open Suse, CentOS, PCLinux, Scientific Linux, etc.....to name but a few).

It's certainly worth a try, though.


Mike. :wink:

How do you get around the little hurdle that slacko doesn't know what to do with RPMs?

Hi RickGT351.

Really? First I heard of petget on any Puppy having a problem with rpm archives.

In any Puppy, rpm archives are supposed to install by just double-clicking on them.

The petget utility is Puppy's installer, and it doesn't care about the Puppy "breed". It's also
designed to handle rpm, deb, tgz and pet archives.

BFN.

Update: I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Slacko 64. Gnumeric works just as it is supposed to. I tried entering a formula (which would previously cause X server to crash) and it worked perfectly

missing dependencies -- try rebooting then re-starting PPM

#7 Post by mikeslr »

Hi All,

RickGT351 above entry reminded me that sometimes --for reasons above my paygrade-- Puppy Package Manager gets confused --may have latched onto one repo when a dependency is in another? IIRC, on at least one occasion I took a screenshot of the report of missing dependencies, shut down completely including a reboot, then used PPM to specifically download the files it had previously missed.

About pkgs.org and Slackware. My experience is not unlike Mike Walsh's. But I think that has a lot to do with both he and I particularly liking Slacko 5.7x which is based on Slackware 14 while Slackware is now at 14.2 and other Distros are also working with applications for operating systems a couple of years newer. Those newer applications have newer dependencies which were built into the newer OSes. So to use them in an older system generates a substantial dependency hunt.
