Dependency problem with fltk when installing fldigi in F16

[JuhaniJaakola]

When I try to install fldigi in F16, yum gives me the following error:

Error: Package: fldigi-3.21.7-1.fc16.i686 (fedora)
           Requires: libfltk_images.so.1.1
Error: Package: fldigi-3.21.7-1.fc16.i686 (fedora)
           Requires: libfltk.so.1.1

So fldigi needs fltk 1.1 but Fedora repositories contain fltk 1.3.

What can I do?

Yeah, that's a problem. The libfltk.so.1.x and libfltk_images.so.1.x files are provided by the fltk rpm package. However, the current F16 fltk package is a bit ahead of the current F16 fldigi rpm package.

	f16-build-1088470-165897
Provides 	
fltk = 1.3.0-1.fc16
fltk(x86-32) = 1.3.0-1.fc16
libfltk.so.1.3
libfltk_forms.so.1.3
libfltk_gl.so.1.3
libfltk_images.so.1.3

I checked on Koji, and the F15 fltk package has the .so.1.1 libs that the F16 fldigi package is looking for. Maybe you could down grade the F16 fltk package to the F15 fltk package and make it work. Maybe.

Provides 	
fltk = 1.1.10-6.fc15
fltk(x86-32) = 1.1.10-6.fc15
libfltk.so.1.1
libfltk_forms.so.1.1
libfltk_gl.so.1.1
libfltk_images.so.1.1

I see this has been bug reported. When can we expect a fix?
