Hi there - had a question about some detailed error messages I'm getting from YUM. In a foolish attempt to fix a fix of a fix, I had to perform an rpm -fU of the db4 package for my FC3 install. The OS now runs just fine, but whenever I attempt a yum upgrade, I see the following output (had set debug to 10 to get the most amount of information):- Searching pkgSack for dep: db4 Potential match for db4 from db4 - 4.2.52-6.i386 webalizer requires: libdb-4.3.so --> Processing Dependency: libdb-4.3.so for package: webalizer Calling rpmdb.returnHeaderByTuple on webalizer.i386 0:2.01_10-26 Requiring package is installed: webalizer - 2.01_10-26.i386 Resolving for installed requiring package: webalizer - 2.01_10-26.i386 Resolving for requirement: libdb-4.3.so Needed Require is not a package name. Looking up: libdb-4.3.so -->Potential Provider: db4.i386 0:4.3.27-1 -->Mode is u for provider of libdb-4.3.so: db4.i386 0:4.3.27-1 Mode for pkg providing libdb-4.3.so: u Cannot find an update path for dep for: libdb-4.3.so ...and so on for a number of packages. Finally it ends with:- Dependency Process ending Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg mod_perl Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg python Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg subversion Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg apr-util Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg perl Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg iproute Error: missing dep: db4 = 4.3.27-1 for pkg db4-utils Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg httpd Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg php Error: missing dep: db4 = 4.3.27 for pkg pam Error: missing dep: db4 = 4.3.27-1 for pkg db4-tcl Error: missing dep: db4 = 4.3.27-1 for pkg db4-devel Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg webalizer Error: missing dep: libdb-4.3.so for pkg db4-utils I can see that it expects to find db4 - 4.2.52 and that the newer package I've installed looks like it's OK, but YUM has marked it with 'u' for some reason (u = unknown?) Is there any way for me to tell YUM that the RPM is OK and to carry on with the install? Kind regards Simon Mundy
