[solved] kdemod3-gwenview

Question

FYI... kdemod3-gwenview no longer works due to removal of the libkipi package from extra...
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve "libkipi>=0.1.6", a dependency of "kdemod3-gwenview"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdemod3-gwenview: requires libkipi>=0.1.6
I posted this notice to the kdemod forums as well.  Any idea on how to resolve the issue?  I tried installing  libkipi from AUR but kdemod3-gwenview complains about a missing library and I even tried to make a symlink for the missing library but that causes kdemod3-gwenview to segfault.  I actually use kdemod3-gwenview quit often but in the meantime I am currently using mirage.  Thanks in advanced!

You are using a KDE3 version. So, you have to install the KDE3 version of libkipi (http://www.kipi-plugins.org), it's the 0.1.6 version. libkipi in AUR is the KDE4 version and was made for the new digikam-slim package I have made in the AUR.
Just do another libkipi package (e.g. kdemod3-libkipi) and upload it to the AUR. Maybe a starting point for you:
pkgname=kdemod3-libkipi
pkgver=0.1.6
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="library for kipi-plugins"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://digikam.sourceforge.net"
depends=('kdelibs3') #MAYBE THERE MUST BE THE KDEMOD3 PACKAGE, NOT THE OFFICIAL ONE
provides=('libkipi')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kipi/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('6fd010aa8eab7039143f69543e806c65')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
. /etc/profile.d/qt3.sh
. /etc/profile.d/kde3.sh
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --disable-debug --without-arts
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg/ install
