Interesting problem inststalling chromium in Fedora 16<br>
I get an error: chromium-15.0.874.106-1.fc16.x86_64 requires
libvpx.so.0()(64bit)<br>
<br>
yum whatprovides reports: libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686 : VP8 Video
Codec SDK<br>
not the 64bit version.<br>
<br>
I have Fedora 16 -x86_64 - Updates and Test Updates switched on in
software sources.<br>
All software is reoported up to date. <br>
<br>
I downloaded <a href="ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm" target="_blank">libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm</a>
from <a href="http://rpmfind.net/" target="_blank">http://rpmfind.net/</a> but on install I get:<br>
Local Install failed-- Can't install
libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64(1).rpm as no transaction.<br>
<br>
I've run out of ideas, what does the error "no transaction" mean and
how can it be fixed please?<br>
thanks in advance<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<br></blockquote></div>Hi, the mantainer is in a trip to FOSDEM, he say that a rebuild will happens ASAP. The problem is that Chromium uses libvpx.0 and the recent updates need livpx.1. He mail a workaround. I dont know if it will work (or alot in the technical side), but here is:<div>
<br></div><div><br style><span style>1) Download the old libvpx package:</span><br style><br style><span style>wget</span><br style><a href="http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libvpx/0.9.7.1/1.fc16/i686/libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm" target="_blank" style>http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libvpx/0.9.7.1/1.fc16/i686/libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm</a><br style>
<br style><span style>2) Make a temporary directory:</span><br style><br style><span style>mkdir sandbox</span><br style><br style><span style>3) Change into the temporary directory:</span><br style><br style><span style>cd sandbox</span><br style>
<br style><span style>4) Use rpm2cpio to unpack the rpm:</span><br style><br style><span style>rpm2cpio libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm | cpio -idv</span><br style><br style><span style>5) As root, copy the old library files into the system library path:</span><br style>
<br style><span style>su -c 'cp -a ./usr/lib/* /usr/lib/'</span><br style><br style><span style>6) Regenerate the system library cache</span><br style><br style><span style>su -c '/sbin/ldconfig'</span><br style>
<br style><span style>7) Restore the selinux contexts on the libraries</span><br style><br style><span style>su -c 'restorecon -v /usr/lib/libvpx.so.0*'</span><br style><br style><span style>8) At this point, chromium should run again. RPM/yum will still complain</span><br style>
<span style>about the chromium package missing a dependency, but that will go away</span><br style><span style>when I build the new one.</span></div><div><span style><br></span></div><div><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">I hope this works.</font></div>
