I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-) I started getting the following messages from yum: ]: yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package subversion.x86_64 0:1.4.3-0.1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Running transaction check Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================== ===== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================== ===== Updating: subversion x86_64 1.4.3-0.1.el5.rf rpmforge 4.4 M Transaction Summary ======================================================================== ===== Install 0 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 4.4 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el from install of subversion-1.4.3-0.1.el5.rf conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-2.el5 file /usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/psvn.el from install of subversion-1.4.3-0.1.el5.rf conflicts with file from package subversion-1.4.2-2.el5 Error Summary ------------- [styma14]: rpm -e subversion-1.4.2-2.el5 error: "subversion-1.4.2-2.el5" specifies multiple packages [styma14]: rpm -qa | grep subversion subversion-1.4.2-2.el5 subversion-1.4.2-2.el5 ###################################### It appears I have a package installed twice. I tried the normal "rpm is damaged" sequence of: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages rpm --rebuilddb But that did not help the situation. Are there any suggestions on how to get rid of this one piece and get past this error? I tried a -f on the rpm -e and it failed the same way.
