Re: [Gtkpod-questions] Another uninstallable packlage

[Jorg S. <jor...@gm...>]

Hi Mike,

there's a file called "INSTALL" and another one called "TROUBLESHOOTING" included in the source tarball that should help you out.

Since you are complaining about the gtkpod-0.99.4-2.fc3.rf.i386 package (Fedora package) you should contact the package maintainer. That person may have forgotten to include some dependencies.

Cheers,


JCS.
