I have a problem updating Fedora 17. When I try yum distro-sync - it
fails with dependency error. When I add --skip-broken option, it also
fails to resolve dependencies. What should I do to upgrade my system?
Why there are packages marked x86-32? Isn't it too early for this ABI to
be introduced in F17?
Here is what yum says in first case:
--> Running transaction check
---> Package libstdc++-devel.i686 0:4.7.0-5.fc17 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: libstdc++(x86-32) = 4.7.0-5.fc17 for package:
libstdc++-devel-4.7.0-5.fc17.i686
---> Package libstdc++-devel.x86_64 0:4.7.0-5.fc17 will be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libstdc++-devel-4.7.0-5.fc17.i686 (fedora)
Requires: libstdc++(x86-32) = 4.7.0-5.fc17
Removing: libstdc++-4.7.0-5.fc17.i686 (@fedora)
libstdc++(x86-32) = 4.7.0-5.fc17
Updated By: libstdc++-4.7.2-2.fc17.i686 (updates)
libstdc++(x86-32) = 4.7.2-2.fc17
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
When I add --skip-broken as suggested yum fails with following error:
Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing it that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for libgfortran which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of libgfortran of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what).
2. You have multiple architectures of libgfortran installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of libgfortran installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).
