Kopete 0.7.4 SuSE 8.2 RPM package

Hello everybody,

It's been a long time since I use Kopete and I've always built my own RPMs. They've always been available at my website, but since it is in spanish (and veeeeery low traffic, I must admit) I thought it was time to post it here.

You can get the package here:

http://8027.org/rpms/files/kopete-0.7.4-1.i386.rpm

You might find something useful here

http://8027.org/rpms/

Sorry but it's in spanish... And I know many packages are outdated.. but I'd really love to see my silly counter go up! :)

to downloads?

cool! didn't try it, because 0.8b1 is out, but i think your rpm should be listed here: http://kopete.kde.org/index.php?page=downloads
why not write to the authors?

Hi, thanks for your suggestion but I don't think the authors would want to put my package in the downloads section at all. My SuSE distro is quite up to date, so users with a fresh install of it might have dependencies problems, I can't chek that.

Also I can't guarantee everything will work fine (as if every plugin is there, or if file permissions are as secure as they could be, etc.), so if my package is missing something, the authors, and probably not me, will be getting emails asking things that otherwise they wouldn't get.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but for the moment, those who want can check the forums and find my package there.

Greetings,
Miguel de Benito.

Kopete 0.7.4 SuSE 8.2 RPM package (problem)

Hi, I tried to install the rpm and I got this error:

error: kopete-0.7.4-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed

My system: SuSE 8.2 (with updates). It has kopete-0.7.2-18 (which I downloaded recently from rpm.pbone.net) installed, but that kopete version couldn't be run either. It kept giving SIGSEGV on startup.. (I can post the backtrace given by KDE crash handler if needed, but I guess that would better be posted as new thread)

I've tried unsuccessfully to search google for solution.. suggestions, anyone? The error message isn't very helpful :s

Indeed the error message is not very helpful. You should try running rpm with -vv option to get some debugging information.

As to what to do with the segv, you might want to check ltrace's ouput: 'ltrace kopete' and maybe strace's too ('strace kopete'). These programs intercept and record dynamic libary calls and system calls respectively. In their ouput you might find useful information.

Mixolydian:

Definetly try it from the command line but use "rpm -Uhv --test <name of rpm file>" this will help you resolve any dependencies with out installing anything.
The only stupid question is the one never asked.
