I decided to enable rawhide on my test F10 system, and do a

I get a lot of dependency failures like:

--> Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by package
setroubleshoot-2.0.12-3.fc10.noarch (installed)
Any suggestions?

why did you enable rawhide? this isnt a support channel. use the irc
channel
or fedoraforum
Sorry. I thought fedora-test was for testing rawhide? ;-(
it is but your not giving much details of what you are actually testing?. by
the looks of it you have fc10 rpms
I thought I'd be testing F11 (as updated from F10 via rawhide.
from what i understand you were using fedora10 an installed Fedora11 from
enabling rawhide. correct method for testing Fedora11 is downloading the
boot.iso an installing fc11
Oh! I was led to believe from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#To_update_to_rawhide_via_yum
that I could move to Rawhide from F10
that way an testing it alongside fc10. you say
your getting a lot of deps but what exactly did you install from rawhide
repo?
Technically, I didn't install anything from rawhide, I simply enabled the
rawhide repo as per the URL above, and did 'yum update'.
if you can figure that one out im sure you'll fix it
The trouble is that it is complaining about
"Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5"
for a vast number of packages. Yum updated the system
to python 2.5.2 but that doesn't help me to understand what
package??? "python(abi)" is?
At first I thought it was an unusually named package, then I thought
It was a version of python, but downgrading python didn't help either.
It seems as thought the rawhide packages need python 2.5
and I now have python 2.5.2 installed???
So I'm at a loss to understand exactly what's missing/wrong.
(My ultimate goal was to find out if KDE 4.2 was packaged for testing
yet, and if so, did it now contain fixes for the missing functionality,
that KDE 3.5 has, that I need/want in 4.x.)
Just to add to your confusion :-(
I did your route. I installed F10 distro. I then changed the repo to
rawhide, then attempted to use yum update. Initially I got a lot of
conflicts between F10 and F11, but I simply used 'yum erase xxxxx'
because I was at an early stage, and then tried 'yum update' again.
This I time succeeded, except for items like 'python abi=2.5'.
That is basically where I am these days, after a lot of running yum
updates on any given day. It would take me time, much more than you
would have to spare, to do the following:
yum list updates >yum.list
then with a window open on 'yum.list', I would use
yum -y update x\*
where would be the first one or more letters of a subset of files I
wished to update. That is a painful method and uses regular expressions
to make a quick selection list.
Ideally, I should have a script try each file, individually. But that
would take hours and as it is, sometimes I spend to 2 or 3 hrs to work
through the list of updates and seldom get below 300 pkgs waiting for
dependencies.
In your case, you might wish to use koji. I might remove the blocking
issues so you can get a look at the area you are interested. Unlike me,
you are not a concerned the F11 development is 'pure rawhide'.
