VLC media player installation

[rdikarlus]

I am using OpenBSD 6.5 release. I can't install VLC media player due to missing dependencies. Here's the output:

Couldn't install vlc-2.2.8p4



My /etc/installurl file looks lije this

Any idea how to solve these dependencies?

Thanks

The root error message is this:

|library drm.7.7 not found
 | /usr/X11R6/lib/libdrm.so.7.6 (system): minor is too small

The transition from drm.7.6 to drm.7.7 took place *after* release, on April 26. Please check for the existence of either the PKG_PATH or TRUSTED_PKG_PATH environment variables, and if they do not exist, please post your dmesg(8).

[albator]

The quirks package shown here belongs to current.

I guess you are not running OpenBSD 6.5 release but a snapshot at some point and that you havent updated your version before trying to add vlc. It is important to use an OpenBSD version and packages matching each other in time.

Don't be misled by the output of the uname command. Use this one instead :

$ sysctl kern.version

If I am right you have 2 solutions:
- upgrade your OpenBSD version, update your packages and then add VLC: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html
Or
- reinstall your system with the 6.5 release and install VLC (here all your data are gonna be deleted).

We both suspect the same thing: packages and system out-of-sync. A -release X11 library with a -current package path.

As you mentioned you're using the release version. Could you show the information jggimi asked?

Maybe I should remove all installed packages and install them again since it seems there are mixed libraries from -current and -release

[jggimi]

It is clear that this is a syspatch(8)ed amd64 -release kernel, with -current packages.
To my understanding, it is only possible to produce this sort of error by:

• using pkg_add(1) with installurl(5) and -D snapshot
  
• using a -current $PKG_PATH

Corrective action: remove and replace all packages.

-----

This "how-to" is untested. Do not blindly use these commands without reviewing them in the appropriate man pages.

1. Back up your system.
2. Ensure a correct installurl(5), and that the environment variables PKG_PATH and TRUSTED_PKG_PATH are undefined.
3. Create a list of your manually installed packages with $ pkg_info -qm > my.packages. See pkg_info(1).
4. Delete all packages with # pkg_delete -X. See pkg_delete(1).
5. Reinstall -release packages with # pkg_add -zl my.packages. See pkg_add(1).

[rdikarlus]

It worked! I deleted all the installed packages and reinstalled the again . Previously I updated the path and trusted path also . I did :

export TRUSTED_PKG_PATH="http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(arch -s)/"

export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(arch -s)/"


And reinstalled everything. VLC media player is installed and working now.

Thanks!

[jggimi]

I'm glad you got things working. But please take note, referring to the pkg_add(1) and installurl(5) man pages for further information:

• TRUSTED_PKG_PATH is intended for unsigned, locally built packages, or other non-Project trusted sources.
• PKG_PATH is designed for signed packages, such as those published by the Project.
• The installurl(5) file is only consulted if both PKG_PATH and TRUSTED_PKG_PATH are undefined.
