Hello everybody,

Problem

i'm trying to install gcc on my jolla phone, but it doesn't work:

$ devel-su
# pkcon install gcc
Fatal Error: gcc-4.8.3-1.2.3.armv7hl depends on glibc-devel [..]

If i do

# pkcon update
Fatal error: File './mw/noarch/qmf-notifications-plugin-all-translations-pack-0.0.1-10.2.1.jolla.noarch.rpm' could not be found on the medium 'https://releases.jolla.com/jolla-apps/latest/armv7hl/'

Question(s)

  • Is it possible to install the missing glibc-devel package anyhow?
  • Did anyone install gcc on the latest SailfishOS version?
  • Can I downgrade to a previous version where dependency problems do not occur?

This seems to be a common problem. Someone or something is setting our releases to latest. It should be set to whatever your current OS version is, in your case 2.0.0.10. See the first response to my link.

You have probably the same issue I encountered yesterday. Look here.

I just installed gcc successfully.

Yes, @objectifnul, that's the same problem. "Latest" instead of the specific OS version number.

The SFOS team should probably investigate: why are so many users unwillingly 'ssu-ed' to 'latest' instead of the actual OS release they are running?

Or perhaps the opposite: why has 'latest' stopped working. Things like this should be handled by linking 'latest' to whatever the real latest release is on the server side.
