hi I have a custom yum repository for FC1 that contains a select few of the official released updates for FC1. I have several FC1 workstations that I would like to update using this repo. My workstations have a fixed number of packages installed, so I only push a new package to my repo if it is an updates for one of the rpms on the workstations. I met with a strange dependency error in that involved php-mysql as follows ... --- [root@marcel yum]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Marcel Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package php-mysql needs php = 4.3.4-1.1, this is not available. --- The following php packages are currently installed on the machine php-4.3.4-1.1 php-imap-4.3.4-1.1 php-domxml-4.3.4-1.1 php-mysql-4.3.4-1.1 Newly added to the repo are the following updated php packages : php-4.3.8-1.1.i386.rpm php-domxml-4.3.8-1.1.i386.rpm php-imap-4.3.8-1.1.i386.rpm php-mbstring-4.3.8-1.1.i386.rpm php-mysql-4.3.8-1.1.i386.rpm After running yum-arch on the repo I check to make sure the header for php-mysql is created - and it is. Yet after running 'yum update' on the workstations I find that the php-mysql header is not downloaded - but it IS listed in the header.info file ... straaaange stuff. Why would yum not download the php-mysql header when it gets all of the others? thanks pantz -- Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes ...
