[SOLVED] Broken Package(s) Prevents Update

Cygnia · #1 2nd February 2012, 07:52 PM

Greetings, after trying to run yum update I get the following error message:

Error: Package: ffmpeg-libs-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64 (@rpmfusion-free-updates)
Requires: libvpx.so.0()(64bit)
Removing: libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64 (@anaconda-0)
libvpx.so.0()(64bit)
Updated By: libvpx-1.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64 (updates)
Not found
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I haven't installed anything from outside the Fedora/RPMFusion repos, and in fact this is a pretty fresh installation from only a few weeks ago. I tried the second item above but it didn't help. I also tried yum clean all and yum distro-sync also with no change. I gather that doing the first item above only kicks the can down the road and I'll still have some sort of breakage somewhere. Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you running F17 rawhide perhaps?
Because thats about exactly the same error message i gotten there.

A workaround could be to temporary (just for this usage) disable the repo with:

Code:

 sudo yum upgrade -y --disablerepo=rpmfusion* --skip-broken

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. And no, I'm on totally stable and fully updated (until now) Fedora 16 Gnome 64bit. Here is the full output from doing your suggestion, but long story short disabling the repo doesn't seem to affect the fact of the breakage:

Same problem here (in french):

I do not have any test / rawhide repository enabled (or never installed anything from them)

cooltd825 · #5 2nd February 2012, 09:05 PM

identical problem here. I'm also using rpm-fusion, so I think it's safe to assume these dependency errors are because we're not "purely on Fedora Updates".

I'm also not Rawhide, so I'm not sure why it's trying to update libvpx to 1.0.0-1. I tried to install the RPM manually, which resulted in the same dependency error with ffmpeg-libs-0.8.8-1.fc16.x86_64.

Identical problem here, running FC16 64-bit. From one attempt:

Code:

Skipped (dependency problems):

And another:

There is no problem to update Thunderbird.

willxhunt · #7 2nd February 2012, 09:44 PM

Exact same issue. F16 Gnome 64 bit. Got my finger on the F5 if anyone has a fix, thank you greatly in advance : D

***DBelton*** · #8 2nd February 2012, 09:49 PM

I ran into the same issue, but I had installed some of my audio/video stuff from atrpms.

All I had to do was uninstall my libavcodec52 and if fixed the problem. rpmfusion seems to have put that into a ffmpeg-libs package and not much telling what else would be uninstalled if you remove that package.

rpmfusion should have their package updated within a day or so if you just want to wait and then update.

willxhunt · #9 2nd February 2012, 10:01 PM

Glad that worked for you, but I don't seem to have libavcodec52 : /
thanks though : )

zardoz · #10 2nd February 2012, 10:12 PM

Simplest solution is to do something like

rpm -ivh libvpx-1.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm

This INSTALLs the new version instead of updating it.
You end up with both versions available and then yum update will work correctly for the other packages.

Sort out the mess later by doing a forced reupdate of the libvpx package once the dust has settled.

Ahh, should have added skip broken too

Code:

 sudo yum upgrade -y --disablerepo=rpmfusion* --skip-broken

Works like a charm too.

Nothing has been fixed (?).

***DBelton*** · #13 3rd February 2012, 01:06 AM

actually, I found out why I didn't get the dependency conflict with ffmpeg-libs like shown above.

enable the rpmfusion-free-updates-testing repo and update ffmpeg-libs

There is a newer version in there.

Code:

yum update

willxhunt · #14 3rd February 2012, 01:26 AM

thank you greatly : D
