Probably not the correct solution, but when yum fails on my machine, I use apt-get to update my system then revert back to yum. Only reason I still use yum is it updates kernels where apt-get does not. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Stromberg Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 4:28 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: yum trouble I have a bunch of FC3 systems. Yesterday, I attempted to patch two of them using "yum -y update". The one that I had installed some time ago, and have run yum -y update on many times, worked fine. However, the one that I reinstalled with FC3 yesterday, failed to do yum -y update correctly both yesterday, and today. This system is failing to patch itself, due to a lack, real or perceived, of a ton of missing dependencies. I tried with and without the atrpms repository configured in /etc/yum.repos.d. Neither worked. The messages I'm getting look like: Error: Missing Dependency: libFLAC++.so.2 is needed by package k3b Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.0rc4) is needed by package pwlib Error: Missing Dependency: libdv.so.4 is needed by package gstreamer-plugins Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package gnucash Error: Missing Dependency: kdeartwork is needed by package kdeartwork-icons Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package alsa-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package gimp Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package timidity++ Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9) is needed by package kdelibs Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.0rc4) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package libglade Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.0rc4) is needed by package kdemultimedia Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.5) is needed by package alsa-lib Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9) is needed by package alsa-lib Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package gnomemeeting Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package theora-tools Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2 is needed by package SDL Error: missing dep: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages for pkg pyzor ...but this is only a small fraction of all the errors I'm getting. rpm --rebuilddb doesn't appear to have helped matters. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix or workaround?
