Problem in latest Rolling MATE distro #353

Closed StudioArena closed 2 years ago

StudioArena commented 2 years ago

I recently installed GeckoLinux_ROLLING_Mate.x86_64-999.220115.0.iso Now I am unable to load Base Development package in YAST (patterns-devel-base-devel_base). Gives all kinds of errors .. zlib missing, etc. etc. This was working fine in previous Rolling MATE. Without Base Development package, it is impossible to do any programming in C++, Ada, etc. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any fix other than totally reinstalling?

Hi, did you update your installation first with zypper dup?

StudioArena commented 2 years ago

Yes, I did that right after I installed (about a week ago), and twice since then. Does not help.

Could you please post the exact errors?

Then I tried to install z-lib-devel and got similar errors. I hate to have to reinstall Rolling MATE because I did a lot of work afterward, like adding Vivaldi browser, setting up firewall, setting up my printer/scanner, etc. All this will be washed away if I have to go back and reinstall.

Yep, re-installing is usually not the solution, because you'll have the same situation after re-installing and updating from the same package sources with the same dependencies. In this case, it looks like you simply need to take the 2nd option it offers you for: deinstallation of libz-ng-compat1-2.0.5-1.3.x86_64.
