Centos7 install - unable to install RPM missing deps

[morgancoxuk]

Hi.

I have been really liking using remarkable on my kde neon workstation (based on ubuntu 16.04).

However I have one workstation with Centos7 - I cannot install the RPM as there are package dependencies needed which are not available for the platform

i.e

• python3-beautifulsoup4
• python3-markdown
• wkhtmltopdf

Has anyone else managed to install this in Centos7/Rhel7 ?

Hi, I have meet the same problem. Have you solved the problem?

[morgancoxuk]

No unfortunately ..

In the end I used 'atom' on rhel7..

[githwd2016]

At first I used remarkable in debian, while yesterday I reinstalled my system and found the problem.

Maybe I should use another editor.

Thanks anyway.

I was having the same issue, but was able to find that the package dependencies were just named incorrectly. Although, even after installing the correct packages it appears the dependencies still fail.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

These failures are even after installing the following:

Anyone have suggestions for an editor that is CentOS friendly?

I have tried using rpmrebuild (man page) in order to change the spec file to point to the right dependencies. While doing so I have discovered that the RPM is in fact created using Alien. This might explain the wrong dependencies for RPM.

Steps to reproduce my failed attempt at fixing the rpm

So I tried

rpmrebuild -pe remarkable-1.87-1.rpm #as root

an changed the python-markdown to python34-markdown. After test install I found a missing dependancy... for GTK package.

import gi # from file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/remarkable/__init__.py

So I installed it manually

yum -y install python34-gobject

Afterwards the problem was missing python3-beautifulsoup4. I think the program might work if it looked for the python-beautifulsoup4 (which is installed as a dependency), but as the stack trace suggest

$ remarkable 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/remarkable", line 65, in <module>
    import remarkable
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/remarkable/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from remarkable import RemarkableWindow
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/remarkable/RemarkableWindow.py", line 29, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named 'bs4'

it isn't looking for packages in /usr/lib/python2.7/ . As I couldn't find RPM for python34-beautifulsoup4 I gave up on using this application on Scientific Linux 7.6 :( I hope this might be of help for the maintainer. I also can help with packaging a real RPM and not using a conversion tool.
