'yum remove cadaver epiphany postgresql-server' should allow the upgrade to proceed. > I have tried to update the packages mentioned, however, I still get the > same error's. Anyone have any ideas? I am not sure what the "identical > dependency loop exceeded" problem is referring to. Dependency resolution is an iterative process. It loops through a calculation trying to find everything it needs. When it loops without finding new deps it is an identical dependency loop. -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
