Mageia forum

I try to update already installed microsoft-edge-dev to ver 103.0.1255.0-1.
To do this I use command:

Code: Select all

dnf -y upgrade microsoft-edge-dev

But it returns:

Code: Select all

 Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package microsoft-edge-dev-103.0.1253.0-1.x86_64
  - nothing provides libwayland-client needed by microsoft-edge-dev-103.0.1255.0-1.x86_64

But libwayland-client is already present:

Code: Select all

[root@Piotr network]# ls -la /lib64/libwayland-client.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 cze 16  2020 /lib64/libwayland-client.so.0 -> libwayland-client.so.0.3.0*


So what could be a problem?

microsoft-edge is no package povided by Mageia.

So you either have to install it via "urpmi --allow-nodeps" (or the dnf equivalent) or try to do symbolic linking for the required libwayland-client version. It should be the same way as you installed it the first time.

Is there a special reason why you try to install this Microsoft package on Mageia? We provide already Chromium. Firefox and other browsers are also packed for Mageia. And you can also install Google Chrome (we also have a Wiki description for the installation).

dnf / the rpm package is checking for rpm Provides, you are only looking at a file directly, those are two totally separate things. You can check with

Code: Select all

rpm -q --whatprovides libwayland-client

if any already installed package provides libwayland-client

As mentioned by sturmvogel you'd have to use "urpmi --allow-nodeps" after you downloaded the package via dnf if it's a dnf/yum repo, because dnf doesn't have such an option.

Hmm, strange

Code: Select all

[root@Piotr ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides libwayland-client
brak pakietów dostarczających libwayland-client

(translation) -> no packages providing libwayland-client

But this package is physically present....

No. Mageia provides only libwayland-client0 and lib64wayland-client0.

OK. Installed via "urpmi --allow-nodeps" manually.

So.... does it work now?

yes

Then please mark your thread as [SOLVED], thanks.
