python-dev can't be loaded due to missing libXss-dev

[ikrase]

I've been unable to install python-dev, which apparently has as a dependency libXss-dev. However, this doesn't seem to exist and fails with an error 404.

libXss does exist.



What's going on here? It doesn't look like libXss-dev existed in previous distributions, either.

in case it helps the dev team, it appears to stand for X Screen Saver and its source can be found here

Hi ikrase
Try changing the entry in the dependency file to  libXss.tcz, the dev files appear to be included in there.

the problem was in the tk-dev dep file - corrected now.

You'll either need to remove "libXss-dev.tcz" from your local copy of tk-dev.tcz.dep or use the update deps function of the Apps gui.

I tried update deps... and it didn't seem to have any effect. But I'm not sure I did quite the right thing?

Hi ikrase
If you are using one of the mirror sites and not  repo.tinycorelinux.net  it might take 24 hours for the change to get there.

Ahhh. OK. Thank you. It works.
