Broken Dependencies in YDL2.3?

[Dan Burcaw]

These files that were on tasty in 2.2 are now part of the
"extra2" apt repository.

Make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list has something like:
rpm http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.3 extra2
rpm-src http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.3 extra2

> Hi,

> I have just installed YDL2.3 on my dual G4 450, and have noticed some

> 1.) xemacs:
>  rpm -Uvh xemacs-*
> error: failed dependencies:
>     ctags is needed by xemacs-21.4.6-6a
>     libRKC.so.1.0   is needed by xemacs-21.4.6-6a
>     libcanna.so.1.0   is needed by xemacs-21.4.6-6a
>     libwnn.so.0   is needed by xemacs-21.4.6-6a
> 
> the Canna, cWnn, and FreeWnn packages that were in 2.2 are not included 
> in 2.3

> 2.) tetex-xdvi
> rpm -Uvh tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-41.ppc.rpm
> error: failed dependencies:
>     libVFlib2.so.24   is needed by tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-41
> 
> if I try an apt-get install tetex-xdvi

> Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
>   tetex-xdvi: Depends: libVFlib2.so.24 but it is not installable
> E: Sorry, broken packages
> 
> (the rest of tetex installs ok)

> 3.) webmin - apparently webmin doesn't yet support YDL2.3 (just 2.2)
>  
> rpm -Uvh webmin-0.970-1.noarch.rpm
> Preparing...                ########################################### 
> [100%]
> Unabled to identify operating system
> error: execution of %pre scriptlet from webmin-0.970-1 failed, exit status 2
> error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping webmin-0.970-1
> 
> (The website only lists YDL2.2 as supported)
> 
> 4.) Octave package is missing, as are blas and lapack packages, which 
> were included in 2.2 (I can use the 2.2 rpms, but they *should* be in 
> the latest if nothing really has changed).

> Any help with any of these? Anyone?
