My turn, now…
Lazyweb, oh mighty Lazyweb !!!!

(I write it in english in case of someone from Gnomefr knows someone who knows someone who knows….)
I am facing an annoying problem on my SUSE 10.0 workstation at work. Some days ago, I installed, (I confess I ‘rpm -iv –force –nodeps’ installed), the following package :
MPlayer-1.0pre7try2-28.rpm
I had this error message :

Committing changes…
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.22768: line 1: DEFINE_FLAVOR_ADD: command not found
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.22768: line 2: flavor_add: command not found
error: %pre(MPlayer-pentium4-1.0pre7try2-28) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
W: Some errors occurred while running transaction

All that because the installation of MPlayer-pentium4 (splitted package of MPlayer under SUSE) failed because of missing libvgagl.so.1 despite package svgalibs is installed.

The annoying part is that now each time I try to apt-get upgrade my workstation, it miserabily fails with this error message:

Reading Package Lists… Done
Building Dependency Tree… Done
You might want to run `apt-get –fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
MPlayer-pentium4: Depends: libvgagl.so.1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using –fix-broken.

and using the given command fails on :

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.22768: line 2: flavor_del: command not found

So??!!?? Mighty Lazyweb, how do I solve my problem ?? 😉
