Description John Reiser 2016-03-21 19:39:29 UTC
Description of problem: liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm does not install on Fedora 22; and Fedora 23 has the analogous problem.  The build assumes the environment of Fedora 24, which is not available.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm

How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Fedora 22, download liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22 from https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/liveusb-creator/3.91.0/1.fc22/noarch/liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm
2. Attempt to install over existing liveusb-creator-3.14.2-1.fc22.noarch
3.

Actual results:
[root@f22]# rpm --freshen liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	PyQt5 is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch
	python-pyquery is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch
	qt5-qtquickcontrols is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch

Fedora 22 has PyQt4-4.11.4-1.fc22.x86_64, but neither python-pyquery nor qt5-qtquickcontrols.

It is unreasonable to expect that anyone with Fedora 22 will install those dependencies.  Please make a backwards-compatible version.

Expected results: successful install without requiring other packages

John, I have no idea why you're trying to use rpm command, but you clearly don't know how it works. Please use dnf and everything will work just fine:

$ sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/liveusb-creator/3.91.0/1.fc22/noarch/liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm

Please note that the app actually crashes when run on F22, probably because of an unstated "QtGraphicalEffects" dependency, but that's a separate issue. It can be installed OK.

I used rpm to illustrate why that version of liveusb-creator is not an app that is designed and implemented for Fedora 22 or Fedora 23.  It is for Fedora 24; it happens to run on Fedora 22 and Fedora 23 only by installing the equivalent environment from Fedora 24, instead of using the environment already present in Fedora 22 and 23.  If it were designed and implemented as an app for Fedora 22 and 23, then the added dependencies would be an empty set, or perhaps one or two packages that grew out of ["extensive"] bug fixing.  Instead the added dependencies are 25 packages and 84MiB.

[BTW, please watch the language you use.  I do know how rpm works.]

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2016-03-23 08:00:31 UTC
Yes, it has new dependencies because it is a complete app redesign. If you don't like the fact that you need to install some dependencies that you didn't have already, you're not required to use it. 'dd' will work the same, and I'm pretty sure it's already present even in a minimal install.
