Guys, I tried to install Saera and eSpeak RPM package without success and it came out with a message "Problem with Installing", it show up in the apps drawer, but it just keep spinning and it never install. But when I tried to install whatsup or any other RPM package it would success. Any suggestions?

Enable developer mode, then in a terminal (either direct or via ssh) session do pkcon install-local /path/to/the.rpm and post the result.

Did you install with the Warehouse app? If yes, did you read what was the "Problem with Installing"? Probably the problem is that eSpeak needs the package Portaudio, which you also find on the openrepos.

Missing dependencies are the most common reason that an installation fails in package-based installer systems.

Hi,
I found this topic because I had no search engines to choose from in the browser settings and wanted to install the search engines rpm from open repos. After downloading the rpm I was not able to install it through the gui or the file browser but via the terminal as V10lator described above.
