[SOLVED] VLC installation problem

[waleed]

Hi, every time i try to install vlc in mageia 4 i get this message:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi vlc
A requested package cannot be installed:
vlc-plugin-common-2.1.2-1.mga4.tainted.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied librom1394.so.0()(64bit))

what should i do?

[doktor5000]

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ sudo urpmi 'librom1394.so.0()(64bit)'
Package lib64avc1394_0-0.5.4-3.mga4.x86_64 is already installed
Marking lib64avc1394_0 as manually installed, it won't be auto-orphaned
writing /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list

This comes from the core_release repository:

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ urpmf -f -m --name lib64avc1394_0
Core Release:lib64avc1394_0-0.5.4-3.mga4.x86_64

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep vlc
urpmq --list-media active

Yep, you have the Live media (DVD?) configured for the Core repositories, and only Core_Updates as online repository.
You miss the Core_release online repository.

Best remove all your repositories, and add a complete new set (Full set of sources) as described in: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_man ... ia_sources

after i wrote the command:
drakrpm-edit-media --expert
and enable the update to all enabled repo it work fine for me and vlc installed without any problems
thanks

[doktor5000]

You shouldn't fiddle with that setting. Gosh, why do people first ask for help, and don't follow recommendations
But anyways, it's your problem, not mine.

I don't know why you upset i tried to remove and set the repo and check them again but the problem didn't solved. But when i execute the above command the problem solved. You need to be patient with the beginners brother.

If the problem is not solved, then say so. There may easily be a bug in the packages or whatever. Otherwise you only workaround that and it may not be fixed properly in the end.
