CentOS 6 + Nux-dextop: GIMP Vs. GIMP 2.8 ?
Hi,
I just setup a CentOS 6 desktop with the nux-dextop repository activated.
When installing GIMP (yum install gimp), I get a gimp package as well as a gimp28 package. I understand this is the Nux-Dextop GIMP 2.8 package. Unfortunately this doesn’t work so well with my system. It’s not localized (menus appear in english, though the system is in French), the main GTK theme (Murrina Gilouche) is not managed and the application has that ugly east german look like in the good old GTK1 days, and there are two redundant menu entries, one of which is not responsive.
I’d like to be able to install the plain “official” GIMP 2.6 application on my system, but when I try to ‘yum remove gimp28’, it takes the whole GIMP stuff down the drain with it.
Note: I’m already using the Yum Priorities plugin. Official repos (base, updates and extra) are configured with a priority of 1, the other stuff
(epel, adobe, nux-dextop) has a priority of 10.
Any suggestions?
Cheers from the sunny South of France,
Niki Kovacs

You will need to add an:
exclude=gimp28*
in the /etc/yum.repo.d/*.repo file for nux.
You may also have to exclude other files from there as well (if there are dependancies specifc to gimp28 that conflict with regular gimp. It will be trial and error (yum remove gimp .. add in the first exclude, yum clean all … yum install gimp .. if necessary exclude more stuff .. repeat until it installs.

This is strange.
“yum install gimp” should install gimp and its deps, not gimp28.
“yum remove gimp28” should remove gimp28 and anyone depending on it, not gimp or “gimp stuff” (assuming you are not talking about “gimp stuff”
from nux’s repo that actually requires gimp 2.8).
What exactly is this gimp stuff you’re talking about? Can you list those packages?

That depneds on how hhey wrote the spec file .. if they obsolete gimp, and also provide it, they can replace the standard install. I don’t have any c6 desktops to test that.

I actually did test it on a C6 desktop.
