TiMidity++ not available for installation [solved]

[satelliteuser083]

I've just tried to install TiMidity onto my mva2006 box, but MCC/Software Packages Installation gives me the (really informative ;) ) message that:

 

Sorry, the following package(s) can't be selected:

TiMidity++-2.13.2-10mdk

Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks.

Maybe you can get a more meaningful error message from the command line? Open a console, run "su" to become the root user, and then do this:

urpmi timidity

and see what that says. Or this to find out more information about it:

urpmq timidity

You might also want to check if your selected mirrors are up and if the 2006 repos are still on there.

Thanks, neddie, I did as suggested:

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi TiMidity++
To satisfy dependencies, the following 3 packages are going to be installed (33 MB):
TiMidity++-2.13.2-10mdk.i586
libportaudio0-18.1-4mdk.i586
timidity-patch-freepats-20040611-1mdk.noarch
Is this OK? (Y/n) y

and TiMidity++ now works. Strange, though, that MCC wouldn't do it, don't you think? :unsure: No change to mirrors etc was required. Anyway, once again, many thanks. :thumbs:

:unsure:

But glad it now works! :D
