Cannot install XnViewMP on fedora

Post by Ghost_Rider »

I just downloaded and tried to install the XnViewMP-linux.x86_64.rpm file and failed with the following.

Code: Select all

# dnf install /home/myuser/Downloads/appimage/xnview/XnViewMP-linux.x86_64.rpm

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
I then looked in /usr/lib64/ and found that each and every one of the needed files is actually there. They are also available via the /lib64/ path.
I do not understand why this error occurs since the files are actually installed and available. Does the rpm file have dependencies that are not valid?

My machine is running Fedora 34.
The packages
qt5-qtmultimedia
qt5-qtbase
qt5-qtbase-gui
qt5-qtwayland
provide all the required files and all are installed with version 5.15.2.

I am guessing this is because of the (Qt_5_PRIVATE_API) part of the dependency specified.
I ran "rpm -qpR XnViewMP-linux.x86_64.rpm" and all those files have multiple dependencies listed. The only ones that erred are the ones that specified the (Qt_5_PRIVATE_API).

I did a rpmrebuild on the file and removed the lines with the Qt_5_PRIVATE_API and the lines near the end that attempted to alter the /usr and /usr/bin paths then the resulting rpm file was able to install. However, there is still an error with this when trying to start the app.

I have openssl version 1.1.1k installed and the error is related to version 1.1.1b.
