Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/1063

Current behavior

downloaded the boost note rpm from https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/releases/download/v0.20.2/boost-note-linux.rpm

install command sudo zypper install boost-note-linux.rpm

result

mess-maker@localhost ~/Downloads> sudo zypper install boost-note-linux.rpm
Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: nothing provides 'libuuid' needed by the to be installed boostnote.next-0.20.2-1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install boostnote.next-0.20.2-1.x86_64
Solution 2: break boostnote.next-0.20.2-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): 1

there I choose to not install boostnote :)

libuuid is installed on this system but is named libuuid1 in place of libuuid
see the search result hereunder, the "i" in the first column is for "installed"

mess-maker@localhost ~> sudo zypper search libuuid

Try installing the libuuid-devel package.

I don't know about OpenSUSE Tumbleweed packages that much but based on this package info,
libuuid is located in the libuuid-devel package (or did I understand it wrong?).

Which presumably resolves the missing dependency problem:
Problem: nothing provides 'libuuid' needed by the to be installed boostnote.next-0.20.2-1.x86_64

This is only based on my research without testing so don't expect the above to actually fix it.

hi,

in my understanding libuuid no longer exist on opensuse system and is replaced by libuuid1
this since Opensuse 15.2 at least and on Tumbleweed (the rolling release) too

here the detail on libuuid1
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/tumbleweed/opensuse-oss-x86_64/libuuid1-2.36.2-2.1.x86_64.rpm.html

and the actual page describing libuuid-devel that ''need'' libuuid1 but don't seem to provide libuuid
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/tumbleweed/opensuse-oss-x86_64/libuuid-devel-2.36.2-2.1.x86_64.rpm.html

@mess-maker

It seems we can manually modify the dependencies of each package. Do you think it is possible for you to apply the changes below, build an rpm package, and test the package?

Before (https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/blob/master/package.json#L238-L242)

    "linux": {
      "icon": "static/icon.icns",
      "target": [
        "deb",
        "rpm",
        "AppImage"
      ]
    },

After

    "linux": {
      "icon": "static/icon.icns",
      "target": [
        "deb",
        {
          "target": "rpm",
          "depends": [
            "libnotify",
            "libappindicator",
            "libXScrnSaver",
            "libuuid or libuuid1"
          ]
        },
        "AppImage"
      ]
    },

Package building script

npm install
npm run build:electron
npm run pack

Then you will see .rpm file from dist directory.

i'm not skilled enough to try your solution

I've found this issue where it's talking about the same issue (libuuid)
