seamonkey installation fails

Post by jgoliveira » 2021/07/12 19:52:03

I'm trying to install seamonkey (available from the epel repo) and getting this error:
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libaom.so.0()(64bit) needed by seamonkey-2.53.7-4.el8.x86_64
Not sure, but it appears that libaom was updated in epel repo but seamonkey needs its previous version.

It's fine on CentOS 8, perhaps you have Stream and it's broken there? If so then you need to raise a bug report on bugzilla.redhat.com - if it's a seamonkey bug then you need to use the Fedora EPEL section to get it rebuilt but if it's a Stream problem then perhaps you need to raise the bug in the RHEL section where there is a "Stream" item listed in the version field.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The new libaom has already made it from testing to stable, but the new seamonkey is still in testing. Your best bet is:

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install seamonkey
