How to resolve an up2date package conflict?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

At present I'm setting up several CentOS (4 and 4.4) machines, and in the process of installing the several updates that are automatically mentioned by up2date as being available, I'm running into a package conflict.

More particular, when trying to install several of the C compiler related packages (like gcc, cpp, etc.) I get the error message:
"Test install failed because of package conflicts:
The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy dependencies:
(name) libtool     (version) 1.5.6     (release) 4.EL4.c4.4
package libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.4 is already installed"

Now.... this seems to be somewhat of what we call over here a "chicken-and-egg-problem", IOW, in order to resolve it libtool should be added, yet when adding it, libtool is already installed and causes the conflict; so which to solve first :P

Can anyone let me know how I can manually solve this problem (note that libtool was not offered as a selectable package, but rather is enforced when trying to install e.g. gcc)?

Tnx in advance, and cheers,
Olafo
