  • Packages depend on older ones.

    From Doug Laidlaw@2:250/1 to All on Sat Jul 20 23:30:32 2019
    Mageia 7:
    Just installed updates. crossover and some dependencies were removed.

    On trying to put back crossover,
    "sudo urpmi RPMS_on_disk/crossover-18.5.0-1.rpm
    [sudo] password for doug:
    The following packages can't be installed because they depend on packages
    that are older than the installed ones:
    libdri-drivers-19.1.0-2.mga7
    libmesagl1-19.1.0-2.mga7
    crossover-18.5.0-1
    Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n"

    I will take up the crossover problem with the developers, but aren't the missing graphics packages necessary?

    They are only required for i586 package installs. The x86_64 packages
    all start with lib64.

    The current Mageia 7 versions of those packages are
    # rpm -qa|grep -e dri-drivers -e mesagl1|sort
    lib64dri-drivers-19.1.2-1.mga7
    lib64mesagl1-19.1.2-1.mga7
    libdri-drivers-19.1.2-1.mga7
    libmesagl1-19.1.2-1.mga7
    so crossover requires an older version of mesa (the source rpm those
    packages come from), than other packages in Mageia 7 require.

    You could try installing crossover with the newer versions of those
    packages. It may, or may not be functional with them. To try it use
    "sudo rpm -i --nodeps RPMS_on_disk/crossover-18.5.0-1.rpm".

    They are only required for i586 package installs.

    Yep, that i586 type thing dinked up a clean network install. I have
    disabled all 32 bit media, and will only enable it if any package
    requires it.

    Crossover is still 32-bit. If I don't enable the i586 repos, crossover
    won't install. I rather suspect that it was not crossover itself that
    was the problem, but the graphics RPMs.

    Anyway, the new dependencies were there within 12 hours.
