[SOLVED] Installing Opera 54

Postby pnbalaji » Jul 18th, '18, 05:12

Hi,

I am trying to install the opera browser. As it is not offered by Mageia, I went ahead and downloaded the rpm version of the installer from opera website and used the rpm command to install it. However, I am getting the below error. Can some one help?

Code: Select all
[user@localhost Downloads]$ sudo rpm -i opera-stable_54.0.2952.54_amd64.rpm
warning: opera-stable_54.0.2952.54_amd64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID a5c7ff72: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
   at is needed by opera-stable-54.0.2952.54-0.x86_64
[user@localhost Downloads]$


Thanks,
Balaji.

Hi pnbalaji
firstly i noticed you are running that as a user, and that will fail due to permission denied to the rpm database.

so enter the command

Code: Select all
su -
enter password.
cd /home/user


so that you can run the command as root.

rpm itself needs all the dependancies presented as a list along with the package you are trying to install, ie rpm -ivh package.rpm dep1.rpm dep2.rpm

but the urpmi command like yum under redhat/centos/fedora will resolve the dependencies for you if it can.

if it was a mageia rpm ie an rpm thats got the right dependancy markers in it for mageia then , im 100% sure that

Code: Select all
urmpi package.rpm


will work.

but as you downloaded this from a site that has created a generic rpm, probably for fedora 28, then it might not find the dependencies that you need.

if it says it cant find 1 or two then i suggest install it with rpm -ivh --nodeps --force, also install any others that urpmi suggested would be needed.

then finaly find the opera executable thats been installed and run

ldd opera

it may say library not found in some cases, if that happens, then you will need to identify which mageia package has that library.

there are many ways to do this, but i being lazy usualy just use google with a search for

what rpm contains.

rpmforge usually gives me a hint.

you may not need all of this it might just work, but these are generic approaches to this problem im listing.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I actually over-written my actual userid with the text "user" before posting this message. As you can see, I was running the rpm command with sudo.

I will try to install opera with urpmi and see how it goes.

Any specific reason why Opera is not included in Mageia repos?

Thanks,
Balaji.

It was up to Mageia 4 up to Opera 12.16. For further information best check https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14912

Thanks, I was able to install opera with the urpmi command. Though urpmi complained about the same NO-KEY warning, it went ahead and installed the browser without any errors. I am able to launch opera from the start menu.

I will mark this thread as solved.

Thanks,
Balaji.

That is because urpmi/rpm do not know the key with which the package is signed, it's telling you the signature of the package and that it does not have a matching key.

Is there a way to find the key. Usually with fedora, there are options to download the key from rpmforge or rpmfusion repos. I am not sure if there is a way to find the key for the opera installer that we download from the opera site.

Did you actually try searching for it? First search result: https://rpm.opera.com/manual.html
Otherwise you would have to ask Opera support for that.
