dependency hell
- by Delirium tremens
I'm trying to install empathy.
Current version has to be installed from source, but needs a list of things that have to be installed one by one.
Previous version is in repository, but blinks (opens, then right after that, closes).
Previous version of the previous version:
apt-cache search -showpkg empathy shows general empathy information and a telepathy too, but not the rpm file name
taking the rpm file name from a Google search result, apt-get install package=empathy-2.30.1-2pclos2010 says package package (twice, really) not found
installing apturl, clicking the rpm file link, opening it with apturl, installation gui starts, but fails
opening the rpm file with Synaptic doesn't work
opening the rpm file with /usr/bin/apt-get doesn't work
What now?
