Fedora 41 cannot install rpm because of zlib

Open tomkr4l opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug Unable to install fedora rpm packages due to zlib problem.

Please note, that I have both zlib-ng-compat and zlib-ng-compat-devel installed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64.rpm
  2. Try install rpm with Software center.
  3. You get an error nothing provides zlib (>=1.2.11) needed by webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64 from @commandline

Expected behavior Install dev manager without an error.

Additional context

  • OS: Fedora 41

In latest fedora, zlib package is replaced with zlib-ng which provides same interface as zlib.

I'm having similar issues getting the rpm to install, also on Fedora 41.

In my case I just get a generic error that says "There was an issue during the update or installation process", but it wouldn't surprise me if the root cause is the same.

@tomkr4l @sync-on-luma

force install it without dependencies, since zlib-ng should be installed (check it beforehand)

sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64.rpm
