Fixing Broken GraphiteOne Libs in CAELinux3a

Hello,

there is a broken-package reported when using synaptics with in CAELinux Beta 3a.

This problem is caused by a dependency that is virtually missing for graphite-one libs. All the required files / libs are present but with other package names than the one used in graphiteOne rpm dependency list.

One solution is to fool the rpm system by virtually uninstalling the graphiteOne packages (removes from rpm database but keeps the files).

To do so, start from a fresh install and do the following as root (terminal):

rpm -q -a | grep graphite

(this will list the exact names of the packages to remove)

rpm -e graphiteone-libs-1.2-1 --justdb
rpm -e graphiteone-oc-1.2-1 --justdb
rpm -e graphiteone-3d-desgn-1.2-1 --justdb

(this will virtually remove the packages)

Finally, you can use synaptics as usual to install new kernels, Nvidia drivers (dkms Nvidia) etc... and it should no more report broken packages !

I hope that this procedure will solve this problem for you.
