I use a laptop, and laptop-mode-tools is the solution to save energy consumption. But seen a lot of dependency confusing ,I've tried to install these dependency, but will remove the other dependencies such as KDE application, etc.

Code: Select all

[nizar@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost nizar]# urpmi laptop-mode-tools
In order to satisfy the 'gdm|slim' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- gdm-2.32.1-1.mga1.i586: The GNOME Display Manager (to install)
 2- slim-1.3.2-3.mga1.i586: Simple login manager (to install)
What is your choice? (1-2) 1
In order to satisfy the 'gnome-bluetooth|bluez-pin' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- gnome-bluetooth-2.32.0-2.mga1.i586: GNOME Bluetooth Subsystem (to install)
 2- bluez-pin-0.30-11.mga1.i586: Bluetooth PIN GUI (to install)
What is your choice? (1-2) 2
Some requested packages cannot be installed:
gnome-session-bin-2.32.1-3.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libupower-glib.so.1)
kipi-plugins-expoblending-1.9.0-3.1.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libkipi.so.8)
libkipi8-4.6.3-1.mga1.i586 (trying to promote libkdecore.so.5)
libkipiplugins1-1.9.0-3.mga1.i586 (in order to keep libkipiplugins1-1.9.0-3.1.mga1.i586)
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n) n


how to fix it ?..

I am not sure why it is asking for all those dependencies. laptop-mode-tools should only require hdparm and sdparm as dependencies.

You can get around the problem with

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh --nodeps ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/laptop-mode-tools-1.57-2.mga1.noarch.rpm


(You should check that hdparm and sdparm are installed)

This is why the conflict surfaced: http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id= ... mode-tools
