Which Fedora release are you using, which versions of these packages do
you have installed, and what happens when you do "yum update"?
I neglected to include that information because before writing my
original email, I did a search and found that this exact problem
reported to this list on June 5 of this year (see
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-June/msg00548.html).
Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusions in assuming this was the
same problem, still unfixed. Anyway, this was confirmed as a package
bug in that thread. I just tried an update now, with the same results
as in that message but with different version numbers:
root@hellboy /h/axel> yum update

I assumed that since at that time it was confirmed as a bug in the
package, and since the error message looks identical, that this was
the same bugl. If this is a new bug, then I am sorry about the
confusion and wish to report this as a brand new bug. I am using an
(otherwise) fully patched FC5, just like the original reporter.
libecal-1.2.so.6 and libegroupwise-1.2.so.10 should be provided by
evolution-data-server-1.6.3-1.fc5.2, which is available in the updates
repository.
What version of evolution-data-server do you have installed?
Since at least the original bug was caused by the upload of a package
that had incorrect dependencies, I resubmit that the package building
process could be improved to better check that a new batch of packages
only depend on themselves and packages already in fedora.
That would be good, yes, and it's quite possible. It would prevent
things like the libparted-1.6.so.14 dependency issue that happened
earlier today.
Paul.
