 Posted: Mon May 15, 2006 5:25 am Post subject: mpg123 wont install |
 |
|
| I just installed lunar-linux and I'm trying to get gnome2 installed. As one of the dependecies of a package mpg123 is to be installed but when the process got to it it would build and with an error 2. I don't currently have access to the log file as I'm writing this under windows, but I will post it when I get a chance. Does anybody have any ideas how I can get mpg123 to install so that I can get a working gnome desktop? Thanks. |

could you list the module that tries to install mpg123... afaik mpg123 is totally not maintained... last released version is in moonbase and already dates back to 2003... i will try to find you an alternative once you can tell which module is trying to pull this package

| Sorry but could you explain to me how to figure out which package is trying to install mpg123? I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks |

don't worry about it ... i found it already...
it's nautilus that is pulling mpg123... but it's an optional depends... so do this :
| Code: |
lin --reconfigure nautilus
|
and when asked if you want to install mpg123 just say no...
after nautilus is installed you can continue with the normal installation of gnome2.

| Thanks ElAngelo, worked great. But could you still tell me how to check what modula is calling another in case I need to do something like this again in the future? |

what i did to find what module was asking mpg123 is the following :
| Code: | | lvu stree gnome2 | grep mpg123 |
it takes a while but in the end it give you :
| Code: |
|--->nautilus: librsvg libexif gnome-vfs2 gnome-menus gnome-icon-theme gnome-desktop esound eog eel [medusa] [mpg123] [sox] [vorbis-tools]
|
with [mpg123] in yellow and with square brackets which means it's an optional dependency that is not installed yet
