patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Your patch file is corrupt.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Since the mate-settings-daemon patch is corrupt I compiled with an empty patch. But I get the following error when I try to install.

Code: Select all

[root@192-168-1-100 x86_64]# yum install mate-settings-daemon-1.22.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:50 ago on Wed 30 Jun 2021 01:50:37 PM AWST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides mate-control-center-filesystem needed by mate-settings-daemon-1.22.0-1.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
[root@192-168-1-100 x86_64]# 
But mate-control-center is dependent on the mate-setting daemon.

Code: Select all

It seems I have a catch 22. Does anybody know how to resolve this?

I installed the fc30 versions of mate-settings-daemon and mate-control-center and was able to successfully compile mate-control-center. So that problem solved.

I'm trying to resolve dependencies for caja and can't find some source rpms.

Code: Select all

[root@192-168-1-100 MATE-fc30-src-depend]# rpmbuild --rebuild caja-extensions-1.22.0-1.fc30.src.rpm
Installing caja-extensions-1.22.0-1.fc30.src.rpm

[root@192-168-1-100 MATE-fc30-src-depend]# 

[root@192-168-1-100 noarch]# yum install gajim-1.1.2-4.el8.noarch.rpm

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I'm looking for the source packages here:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archiv ... /Packages/
I couldn't find anything for: cssutils, nbxmpp or precis-i18n. There isn't anything under python3.6dist....

How do I find these dependencies?
