HI there!

Just to make sure, you do have libsodium installed right?

[Katze719]

apparently you need a special version of libsodium: Package libsodium-1.0.19-4.fc40.x86_64 is already installed.

[braindigitalis]

the 23 in libsodium isnt the version number, for some reason on debian they call it libsodium23, version 1.0.19. Same in most redhat: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libsodium23

[Katze719]

there is no libsodium23 for fedora, only libsodium. so would it be fine if i make a symlink for that?

[braindigitalis]

i cant imagine it doing any harm, should work fine. sodium retains binary compatibility quite well.

Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libsodium.so.23()(64bit) needed by libdpp-10.0.29-1.x86_64 from @commandline
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

/usr/lib64$ ll | grep -i libsodium
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root        26 May  1 14:04 libsodium.so.23 -> /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.26
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root        19 Jan 25 01:00 libsodium.so.26 -> libsodium.so.26.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root    393360 Jan 25 01:00 libsodium.so.26.1.0

Solution:

1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.26 /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.23
2. sudo dnf install ./dpp.rpm --skip-broken

it will still thow a warning with

Problem: conflicting requests

• nothing provides libsodium.so.23()(64bit) needed by libdpp-10.0.29-1.x86_64 from @commandline

  but it should work with the symlink

[Katze719]

maybe you guys can add that info to your install guide for .rpm packages on fedora
