Mageia forum

trying to install my epson xp-400 in mageia 6 after having no probs in mageia 5...
when i go to mcc>hardware>browse and configure hardware i get a notice that

Code: Select all

"the following packages need to be installed:lsb-core-lib64 and lsb-lib64"

go to >install and remove software and choose both of these files i get the notice

Code: Select all

"Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:
- lsb-lib64-4.1-20.mga6.x86_64" and "Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:
- lsb-core-lib64-4.1-20.mga6.x86_64"

if i try to install from a command line i get the following:

Code: Select all

"root@localhost reg]# urpmi lsb-lib64
The following packages can't be installed because they depend on packages
that are older than the installed ones:
lib64ncurses5-6.0-7.mga6
lsb-core-lib64-4.1-20.mga6
lsb-lib64-4.1-20.mga6
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) "

if anyone can point me in a direction it would be appreciated
thank you

oops.... video driver's not allowing boot now...and for some reason i'm getting a login window that allows me to boot to a second login window (??) i'm going to put the printer issue on the side burner, if the problem persists i'll repost..thanks

check the epson website and see if they have updated the drivers for newer lsb releases.

I had this issue with an XP-442 but the other way around, that under mga 5 the libs needed were to new, and had to install a lib on mga5 sourced from suse, and recompiled on mga5, (as the fedora ones just would not compile).
