Webkitgtk : no package "devel" available in same version

Support
1

Hello,

  • OpenMandriva Lx version:
    3.03 and updated to last packages

  • Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
    KDE plasma

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

  • Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

I need these packages :

  • lib64webkitgtk1.0-devel
  • lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel

But there version available, don’t match with lib64webkitgtk1.0_0 nor lib64webkitgtk3.0_0 which are installed in " 1:2.4.11-2:2015.0 "

The only available version for the " devel " packages is " 1:2.4.11-1:2015.0 " : so I can’t reach to install them…

Can I expect this issue resolved in the close future ?

Thank you for any assistance

? For what? Or Why?

Apologies if I seem dense but not sure what is being asked. My guess is you think you need different version of lib64webkitgtk but which version? And for what reason? No package “devel” available in same version as what? Will just any other version of lib64webkitgtk work for your needs?

Edit: For different versions of any package you can look here and here.

Also to make a request for developers to upgrade a given package the procedure is to file a bug report and explain in detail what you need and why you need it and under “Importance” select “trivial/enhancement”.

I need at least, this package : lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel

Because I want to install " wxPython Phoenix ".
So, to compile wxPython, a “libwebkitgtk” is needed, more precisely the “devel” package, otherwise the compilation is failing.

Note:
the lib64webkitgtk3.0_0 is 1:2.4.11-2:2015.0
but the lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel available is only 1:2.4.11-1:2015.0
so I can’t install this “devel” package, OpenMandriva refuses to install it because it’s not the same version of lib64webkitgtk3.0_0

If you agree I’ll post a bug report later.

Thanks for your answers

Here I’m showing that lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel will install. Also I don’t see in main repo a “lib64webkitgtk3.0_0 is 1:2.4.11-2:2015.0”.

So to install lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel use ‘urpmi --downgrade’ to downgrade lib64webkitgtk3.0 to the same version and install it.

Where did lib64webkitgtk3.0_0 is 1:2.4.11-2:2015.0 come from?

Could you post (as code) complete output of the following:

$ rpm -qa | grep lib64webkit

and

$ urpmq -yf lib64webkitgtk

FWIW here with standard Lx 3 x86_64 repos (no i586) I have:

$ urpmq -yf lib64webkitgtk
lib64webkitgtk1.0-devel-2.4.11-1-omv2015.0.x86_64
lib64webkitgtk1.0_0-2.4.11-1-omv2015.0.x86_64
lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel-2.4.11-1-omv2015.0.x86_64
lib64webkitgtk3.0_0-2.4.11-1-omv2015.0.x86_64

First know that I’m a user like you not a developer and a developer would know more about this. If you want to talk to a developer about this you could try on #openmandriva-cooker on Freenode IRC. And be prepared to wait for an answer, sometimes you get one right away and sometimes it takes a couple of days.

As far as I can tell the solution remains to remove or downgrade the 2.4.11-2 to 2.4.11-1. The fact that the 2.4.11-2 packages are no longer in the repos possibly indicates something was wrong with them.

Edit: If you do go on IRC by all means post the link to your bug report on this issue.

To downgrade you can try this:

# urpmi --downgrade lib64webkitgtk3 lib64webkit-gir3 lib64webkitgtk1

and answer Y or yes when it asks to downgrade the other packages of that version number. Then lib64webkitgtk3.0-devel should be installable.

Thank you ben79 for your help.
I tried a new build, and all is ok now : I could install the ‘libwebkit-devel’ package with that new version, and run my python2.7 program. As you told me on IRC channel.

Cheers.
