Can't install Tangysoft newsread

Post by abc150781 » 2017/12/05 10:26:02

Hello,

maybe some of you can help. I've running CentOS 7 with gnome desktop. When trying to install the rpm I've got a error message "Installation Failed".
Is there someone how was able to install the Tangysoft newsreader?

I downloaded their rpm and tried to install it and it errored requiring 'unrar' which didn't exist. That package is in the nux-dextop yum repo so add that - yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el ... noarch.rpm - and also the EPEL repo - yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release and then you can install the package. No idea if it works as I didn't install it, just test if it would install.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
