Hi.

I'm trying to install the sources of a binary package to my JollaC to no avail....
So far I have tried with:

Code:

pkcon install 'package'
pkcon install-local 'package-file.rpm'
zypper install 'package-file.rpm'

Anybody knows what I am missing?
Sorry if it has been answered before, I'm on a tight schedule..

Regards.

I'm trying to install "wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source". I already have "wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.armv7hl" installed, but then:

Code:

[[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su pkcon install wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source
Password: 
Command failed: This tool could not find any available package: could not find wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.source

I have also tried:

Code:

nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.src.rpm 
Password:

Fatal error: MIME type 'application/x-source-rpm' not supported /home/nemo/Downloads/wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.src.rpm

or:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su zypper install /home/nemo/Downloads/wpa_supplicant-2.5+git1-1.14.7.src.rpm 
Password: 
PackageKit is blocking zypper. This happens if you have an updater applet or other software management application using PackageKit running.

'wpa_supplicant = 0:2.5+git1-1.14.7' is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

And this is all I've tried.

Code:
