Re: [edlug] Re: Linux AV / Windows update




It's MPlayer and apt for SuSE. I try installing the RPM and it comes up with a list of dependencies that are not being met. So | have to download the RPMs for the missing libraries, but they fail as well, needing further base libraries. It took me all day yesterday to come to the conclusion that the site didn't even have some of the files I need.


The site I am downloading this from is ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.0-i386/

Another thing that annoys me about Linux installs using yAst in SuSE 9.0
is that the RPMs don't contain all the files to run the program. yAst
will tell you which libraries it needs, but they are not in the RPM.



Is it video/audio stuff you've had problems with or others too? Must say I've not suffered this kind of problem. In my experiece even proprietary packages like nVidia drivers & MS TT fonts (which aren't on the cd) get downloaded after the requisite "I Agree" has been clicked.
