Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.2.1-1.7
Client machine: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Dear X2GO dev team,
I have encountered problem installing x2goclient on openSUSE Tumbleweed
machine from "dedicated" repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
Installing x2goclient results in zypper warning:
Problem: x2goclient-4.0.2.1-1.7.x86_64 requires
libssh.so.4(LIBSSH_0.6.5)(64bit), but this requirement cannot be
provided
uninstallable providers:
libssh4-0.6.5-23.1.x86_64[X11_RemoteDesktop_x2go]
Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
downgrade of libssh4-0.7.1-2.1.x86_64 to libssh4-0.6.5-23.1.x86_64
install libssh4-0.6.5-23.1.x86_64 (with vendor change)
openSUSE --> obs://build.opensuse.org/X11
Solution 2: do not install x2goclient-4.0.2.1-1.7.x86_64
Solution 3: break x2goclient-4.0.2.1-1.7.x86_64 by ignoring some of its
dependencies
My initial thought was - if this is a dedicated x2go Tumbleweed repo why
do they (x2go dev team) provide libraries already present on Tumbleweed
systems (upstream) and why it is in older version. It only contributes
to dependency problems...but then again, i have no idea if there are
technical reasons for you to specifically provide older version of this
particular lib... i do know that if i go ahead and downgrade libssh4 to
get x2goclient installed on the system, very next system update will be
hassle to do.
Again, without knowing x2goclient code, would it be possible to build
rpm in such a way that it would require libraries from upstream repos
instead of dedicated x2go repos, except, of course, those libs that are
so specific to x2go that they are not present in "general" upstream
repos.
Thanks,
Nikolai (and thnx for wonderful effort, amazing project you guys/gals
have going there)
