tpctl gone?

xardias · 2008-04-22 14:12:19

Hi folks!

I just wanted to install Archlinux on my Desktop and realized that kde(mod) cannot be installed because the tpctl package is missing since today.
Well I found that package on the outdated tu-wien mirror but I dont think that this is intended to be correct.

regards,
Dennis

Same question.

phrakture · 2008-04-22 15:00:15

tpctl is old and outdated. Please read this here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/SMAPI_sup … api_module

I have no idea why kdemod depends on this, but considering a dependence on a hardware specific kernel module is probably really wrong, it sounds like a packaging error. Please report this to the kdemod developers

xardias · 2008-04-22 15:47:48

okay thanks. I will file a bug report at kdemod.

By the way.. archs kdeutils depends on tpctl too. KDE has some integrated configuration panels für Thinkpads i think this is where the dependency comes from.

Wow, that is totally my fault then. I did not notice this dep, partially because I assumed nothing would depend on this broken package

When will this get fixed?

wyvis · 2008-04-23 07:22:40

I also had this problem yesterday (when trying to install KDE on a fresh system) and raised a bug report (#10253).

Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.

Dirhael · 2008-04-23 11:05:02

Until it's fixed, I've upped this package from my cache here: http://www.getyeflask.com/uploads/tpctl … pkg.tar.gz

phrakture · 2008-04-23 16:27:56

Anyone running x86_64 want to test a package for me? kdeutils without the tpctl dependency, but I had to rebuild it, so want to make sure it all works ok:

https://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/kdeuti … pkg.tar.gz

prol · 2008-04-23 21:26:58

Thanks for the package dirhael .

Ping... anyone running KDE? The only way this will get fixed is if I know this package is functional

phrakture · 2008-04-24 14:10:06

Pierre followed through with this. I wasn't going to push it untested, but it seems he tested it and the repos should have kdeutils packages without tpctl.

For anyone that has it installed, feel free to "pacman -R tpctl"

I got the same problem with insatting KDE. I tried to use the command: pacman -S https://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/kdeuti … pkg.tar.gz
The error I get then is "No such repository."

When I use the command: pacman -A https://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/kdeuti … pkg.tar.gz
This is the error I get then:
error: failed retrieving file 'kdeutils-3.5.9-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz' from 'dev.archlinux.org' : success
Warning: failed to download https://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/kdeuti … pkg.tar.gz

Then I tried to use tpctl package: pacman -S http://www.getyeflask.com/uploads/tpctl … pkg.tar.gz
The error I get is:
reposetory 'http:' not found
error: 'http://www.getyeflask.com/uploads/tpctl … pkg.tar.gz': no such reposetory

what is going wrong? How can I resolve it?

Read the man page for pacman, you are not using it correctly. If you replace the "-S" with "-U", I think you will find that it works just fine.

prol · 2008-04-24 21:28:54

i did a wget then installed it with pacman -U

Oops. I've been without archie to long :-P I should have known that 8-) It works now. At the moment I'm installing KDE

I've run a system update on x86_64 today, got the new kde packages, ran pacman -R tpctl without any hitches so far.

If anything crops up I'll post again (note: this is not a thinkpad).

This is perhaps ill-advised (the KDEmod install guide specifically says NOT to do this) but my personal experiance is that you can run KDEmod without ark or kdemod-utils-base (the parts that have the tcpl1 dependancy); basically I just installed kdemod-kdebase and other stuff that wanted from pacman without doing:

pacman -S kdemod

Everything seems to be working ok. (again, note that the KDEmod guide says specifically NOT to do this) Obviously I can't run ark.
