I'd rather (1) examine your Yum plugins and their configuration, and (2) verify with your favourite browser that the needed packages are really not found in the remote repository. Save a copy of the repo metadata directory _and_ the directory listing as proof. There's enough evidence that your Yum excludes some packages it should not exclude. One example ("rpm") given in my previous reply. Here's another: ---> Package netpbm.i386 0:10.35.61-1.fc10 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: netpbm = 10.35.58-1.fc10 for package: netpbm-progs netpbm-progs-10.35.58-1.fc10.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: netpbm = 10.35.58-1.fc10 is needed by package netpbm-progs-10.35.58-1.fc10.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: netpbm = 10.35.58-1.fc10 is needed by package netpbm-progs-10.35.58-1.fc10.i386 (installed) The new netpbm from April 2nd is seen, but its sub-packages are not seen although they should be found in the same metadata. This has nothing to do with "mirror not in sync" unless bodhi has had a senior moment... netpbm-10.35.61-1.fc10 bugfix update https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-3273 bodhi - 2009-04-02 17:21:01 This update has been pushed to stable -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
