| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 1 | !!! My [MP3]s don't work! |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 2 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 3 | One day, long ago, while all was going quitely in Linux land, [someone suddenly stood to claim|http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/27/1626241] that all programs which decode [MP3]s had to pay royalties to the developers of the [MP3] format. Even though soon after, [someone else refuted the claim|http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/29/1633205&tid=17], showing that free decoders never had and never would have to pay a licencing fee, the damage had been done. |

| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 5 | RedHat, fearing a lawsuit, removed all [MP3] decoders from the [MediaPlayer]s in their distrubtion. To play [MP3] files on [XMMS], you have to install an [MP3] plugin from an external source. An appropriate [RPM] is available from the [XMMS website|http://xmms.org]. |

| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 9 | !!! Installing XimianDesktop 2 breaks AptForRpm |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 10 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 11 | This problem can manifest itself in many different ways. It is caused by some bogus __db4__ packages with incorrectly set the __obsoletes__ field. See http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44442 for more details. You might see something like this: |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 12 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 13 | __# apt-get upgrade__ |
| 14 | Reading Package Lists... Done | ||
| 15 | Building Dependency Tree... Done | ||
| 16 | You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. | ||
| 17 | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | ||
| 18 | db4: Obsoletes: db1 but 1.85-0.ximian.6.1 is installed | ||
| 19 | E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. | ||
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 20 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 21 | A simple fix is to replace your bogus __db4__ package with the corresponding fixed one from |
| 22 | [http://www.math.utah.edu/~newren/my-ximian-db4-packages/]. | ||
| 23 | To find out which one you need, check which one you have: | ||
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 24 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 25 | rpm -qa | grep ^db4 |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 26 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 27 | Then download and install the fixed packages: |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 28 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 29 | rpm -Uvh ''package1'' ''package2'' |
| 7 | AlastairPorter | 30 | |
| 10 | AristotlePagaltzis | 31 | Now everything should be back in good order. |
