Everyone, I have a unit that is fully upgraded and is using konsole. This morning for some reason konsole quit working. When I investigated it appears that some of the libraries were not included in the update. I removed konsole, and then tried to reinstall konsole5 and here is what I received - [root@NeRt ~]# yum install konsole5 Last metadata expiration check: 0:32:22 ago on Wed 15 Nov 2023 08:44:31 AM CST. Error: Problem: package konsole5-23.04.3-3.el9.x86\_64 requires libKF5XmlGui.so.5()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides libQt5Core.so.5(Qt\_5\_PRIVATE\_API)(64bit) needed by kf5-kxmlgui-5.108.0-1.el9.x86\_64 Anybody else having the same problem?

Rocky Linux 9.3 is not yet released, which will have updated qt5 libraries. When we release it, you should be able to update without any issues. ---

Thank you for your work in putting out 9.3 !!! Unfortunately, 9.3 did not fix the problem with konsole. Here is what I get when trying tp install konsole which was after a 9.3 upgrade and then a reboot: [root@NeRt ~]# dnf install konsole Last metadata expiration check: 0:35:14 ago on Mon 20 Nov 2023 01:21:56 PM CST.

I would try doing: ```auto dnf clean all dnf update dnf install konsole ``` I’ve just ran the same install command on my Rocky 9 and it doesn’t complain about lack of dependencies. So could just be you are connected to a mirror that doesn’t have all the Rocky 9.3 content synchronised or EPEL needs refreshing (since some of those dependencies come from EPEL9). ---

Definitely looks like mirrors near you are not synced properly: ```auto Available Packages Name : konsole5 Version : 23.04.3 Release : 3.el9 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 1.1 M Source : konsole5-23.04.3-3.el9.src.rpm Summary : KDE Terminal emulator URL : http://www.kde.org/applications/system/konsole/ License : GPL-2.0-only AND GFDL-1.1-or-later Description : KDE Terminal emulator. ``` I removed the repository line from the results since it references my Satellite/Foreman installation but that package comes from the EPEL9 repository anyway. My Satellite/Foreman installation has synced that package, so it may just be bad luck for you in mirror selection always picking the wrong one. ---

I am still having a problem and if you can help I would sure appreciate your efforts. dnf clean all followed by dnf install konsole failed in teh same manner. After I performed the above I changed the epel.rep file to exclude: metalink=[https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-$releasever&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir](https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-$releasever&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir) and replaced it with: baseurl=[https://dfw.mirror.rackspace.com/epel/9/Everything/x86\_64](https://dfw.mirror.rackspace.com/epel/9/Everything/x86_64) I did another dnf clean all then [root@NeRt yum.repos.d]# dnf install konsole Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:14 ago on Wed 22 Nov 2023 12:09:49 PM CST.

Yep, worked beautifully(the reference @iwalker has above), but did need to to the group erase first, to clean out the cruft so it all installed correctly. BTW, don’t do the -nobest, etc. That was how I got into my situation in the first place, and spent a good part of a week in non-KDE purgatory for my sins. Had to wait till the RL 9.3 became available… There are a boatload of rpm’s that come with the KDE group, and on my functional RL9.3 system some of the ones you’re not seeing (but do exist with the method I did) are: > kf5-ktextwidgets-5.108.0-1.el9.x86\_64 > kf5-sonnet-core-5.108.0-1.el9.x86\_64 > aspell-0.60.8-8.el9.0.1.x86\_64 There are a boatload of rpm’s with KDE, so I really do think you want to do the group erase/ group install two step that worked for me. Works exactly the same, and I got back my old session with all my old Konsole sessions, etc. Do the group erase/group install bit, I think it’s the issue. Good luck, Mike ---

Mike, I am afriad that did not work for me. When I do a grou p list after installing the epel repositires I do not get: “KDE (K Desktop Environment)” I had never install anythinf but konsole and ocular. The group in dnf that was presented was “KDE Plasma Workspaces”. I decided to test a fresh install 9.3 on a kvm hypervisor and to my surprise when I tried to install konsole I got the same errors. The new install also had the KDE Plasma Workspaces so I installed that, and when I tried to install konsole I recieved the same errors. Since you can install KDE and konsole I am even more suspicious this is a mirrored repository problem. Can you give me the direct address of athe rrepository you are using for epel? Thanks for you help !! Greg ---

Solution: I discovered the solution with the hypervisor test install. All I had to do was: /usr/bin/crb enable The remaining rpms were available after I performed this. I do not remember changing this before the 9.3 install, but it is necessary if KDE is going to be used in 9.3 Thanks again for your help!!! Greg ---
