[SOLVED] No Picard in Mageia repos

Postby lilogrub » Jun 12th, '11, 20:04

Hello everyone! First of all, I'd like to thank the Mageia Community for this great distro :D

Well, the problem is that I want Picard installed in my new, shiny Mageia box, but it isn't included in the repos (because picard 0.14 needs Python <= 2.6, I guess). So I tried installing from source, but it required some dependencies as msgfmt command I couldn't find on my own (it said: "msgfmt: command not found" on install)

Is there any workaround until next version of Picard, supporting Python 2.7, is released?

Thank you! Cheers.

I suppose the only way is to compile from source as you tried. Maybe we can help you compile it, provided every needed dependency is in Mageia's repositories.

msgfmt is part of the gettext package, as you may see if you type:
Code: Select all
urpmf msgfmt

urpmf is a useful tool that searches in every package if it installs something with "msgfmt" in its name. Among other packages, it prints:
Code: Select all
gettext:/usr/bin/msgfmt


Installing gettext should solve this problem. You may have further missing dependencies though, but with urpmf you should be able to find which packages contain them.

Solved, urpmi gettext did the job. Picard installed from source without errors. Thanks.

PD. Nice command, that urpmf, I'll keep it in mind next time.
