Hi.
I need a library named libappindicator, but my search til now indicate that Mageia don't have any package for such library.

Anybody knows anything about this?.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

What do you need that library for? It doesn't seem to be in the repos.

Code: Select all

[germ@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides libappindicator
no package provides libappindicator
[germ@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides lib64appindicator
no package provides lib64appindicator

I did find several ayatana-appindicator packages.

For one, rpm only searches in installed packages, not in repositories. urpmf -f --name would be the way to go for that.

Although OP does not mention what he actually needs that library for in particular, as dependency for what software?

Hi.

I was trying install a very good modern mail client named Mailspring, and that libappindicator looks to be a dependence. But i just discover that this mail client is available as flatpak. So, my problem is solved. I'm gonna add a -Solved- to the topic, if no one have objections.

Thanks, very much, for the help.

Also note that our 64 -bit packages have "64" after "lib"

Try "urpmf -f --name appindicator" to get extended matches.
Or even anything containing "indicator" : "urpmf -f --name indicator"

Hi.

The lib libappinditator was requested by the rpm package of mailspring which is a modern mail client that i enjoy very much. But now i just discover that this app is available to in the format of Flatpak package, so my problem is solved. For my point of view, this topic is SOLVED.

Thanks very much for your kind help.

If it is solved for you, please edit your first post and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the topic title.

Thanks.

Great then.
