I am running OpenSUSE 13.1 and downloading via Yast I get the following error: nothing provides libpq.so.5()(64bit) needed by qgis-master140102-1.2.x86_64

I get three of these errors, for each of the three qgis downloads (master, grass plugin, master-devel).

I have two options under Conflict Resolution: 1-do not install... 2-break...by ignoring some of its dependencies

What would you folks recommend? Is there something wrong with QGIS in openSUSE?

  • libpq is usually from PostGIS or PostgreSQL. What's the output of zypper wp libpq.so.5?

  • unfortunately I don't understand your question. Should I input that somewhere?

  • Sry, you have to enter that into a terminal (command line). I'm not sure if you can check for what-provides using YaST Software Manager - but I know zypper.

  • I put it into the terminal and it said: Loading repository data...reading installed packages...No packages found.

  • What if you change just libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so?

It looks like one of your main repos is disabled; just has to be enabled.

I can see that in the output of zypper lr -u.

In your case, just run sudo zypper mr -e repo-oss then you can run sudo zypper ref and finally sudo zypper in qgis-master.

It's actually probably really easy to "enable a repo" in YaST Software Manager too.
