Dependency problem on OpenSuse Tumbleweed [SOLVED]

Post by fawkesjr »

I am trying to install Softmaker 2018 on my OpenSuse Tumbleweed, but I have a dependency problem that I can't solve myself.

When I run the command "sudo zypper in softmaker-office-2018-938.x86_64.rpm" the terminal shows the following reply:
"Problema: nada fornece libidn.so.11()(64bit) que é necessário a softmaker-office-2018-2018-938.x86_64"
In a free translation: Problem: libidn.so.11()(64bit) is necessary to softmaker-office-2018-938.x86_64"

I can't find that package in the repository. How can I solve it?

I have no experience of OpenSuse, but could this be what you need?
https://software.opensuse.org/package/libidn
Donät know why it doesnät show up in your repo.

libidn.so.11 was replaced by libidn.so.12, but nobody at the common distribution thought it would be worthwhile to keep backward compatibility. ;-)

We will update SoftMaker Office, but in the meantime you can create a symbolic link in the lib64 folder:

Code: Select all

ln -s libidn.so.12 libidn.so.11

I tried both solution, but none worked for me. Sorry. Do you have any other ideas? Is there any extra information that you need?

I entered in lib64 folder and could not find libidn.so.12. Is that the reason why your solution didn't work?

Install libidn with your package manager, then try the ln command.

I could not install libidn from https://software.opensuse.org/package/libidn because of an unespecified error. So I tried to install libidn using this https://software.opensuse.org/package/libidn I followed the instructions, but realized that gcc was not installed, so I installed it. After that the installation showed no error message and I did the ln command you told me to do. Tried to run rpm -i softmaker... and the terminal showed me the same dependency error message.

Any new ideias?

Sorry if I did anything wrong, I am new in opensuse and I have never had this kind of problem before.

Someone solved the issue in the German forum:

We are working on a solution for future service packs.

Thank you very much for your support. I hope to use SoftMaker as my main office soon.
