[SOLVED] Unable to install Opera in Fedora 28 using rpm

Issue

1. I can't install the program by double-click because it conflicts with previously installed opera.

2. I can't install opera via the following command:

   rpm -ivh opera-stable_56.0.3051.52_amd64.rpm

because

libXss.so.1()(64bit) is needed by opera-stable-56.0.3051.52-0.x86_64

ButtI don't Know how to get this object file (?) on my Fedora. dnf don't know about this package. Neither does apt-get nor yum.

OS: Fedora 28

Solution

A search on rpmfind reveals that the package you need on Fedora 28 is libXScrnSaver. Do yum install libXScrnSaver and then you should be able to install Opera.

You can also use yum to install one-off RPMs, so that it can try to automatically install dependencies, like this: yum install ./opera-stable_56.0.3051.52_amd64.rpm
