Unified all-in-one packages for end users

Hello.

synfigstudio_0.63.00-20110605.master.7_amd64.deb has broken my dpkg system on Kubuntu 11.04 64bits (installing with dpkg).

=========
Error: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

Then I could not use dpkg or apt anymore.

Uninstallation solved following this guide:

blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-ge … n-packages

(Replacing “flashplugin-nonfree” for “synfigstudio” ofcourse.)

Apparently the package was converted from rpm with alien.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the troubles. We will try to reproduce it on a virtual machine.

No need to apologize. Thanks to the developers and maintainers.
Hope you can fix it.
One question. For what distro was built .rpm package?
In my experience, only Fedora .rpm work fine on Ubuntu when it is converted with alien.
Greetings.

Hi!
RPM should run on any recent (no more than 2 years old) RPM-based distro. It was tested on OpenSuse and Fedora.

YAFU:
Please post full error text for apt-get. I need to know which dependency it complains.

I see on screenshot:
“…and include details beneath…”

Please do. ~_^

Yes, but for any reason I can not convert official RPM packages from OpenSuse or Mandriva to .deb with alien (in similar release date distros)

I have only dpkg error (little in Spanish):

That’s because of many dependencies in the standart packages. We have made package with minimal dependencies to the external libraries so it converts well.

OK, thank you! Now I see the problem and know how to fix it! ^___^

YAFU:
We have made some fixes. Here are the packages: http://download.tuxfamily.org/synfig/packages/binaries/
Please check and report if they work for you or not. Thank you!

Now works!

Good. I have uploaded fixed packages to sourceforge and updated packages links on download page.
