package update question

[jwholey]

When I run package update, it fails on the following:

Missing Dependency: system-bookmarks is needed by package firefox
Missing Dependency: xml-commons = 0:1.3.02-0.b2.7jpp.10 is needed by
package xml-commons-apis


Question1: shouldn't package update install dependencies?
Question2: should I let package update install all packages in the list? There are 141 updates.
Question3: Will package update potentially overwrite a driver that I've specifically installed to get wireless working?

thanks for any help.

try getting the deps

yum -y install system-bookmarks xml-commons

Unless you made a change to the kernel itself, then no nothing will happen.

but, if you did, uncheck kernel updates.

at least I think it happens this way.

What package(s) are you trying to update? And what repos do you have enabled?

Sometimes, the dependency (in this case, xml-commons) has not made it into the stable repos yet, so you might have to enable the updates-testing repo just for this update (but that's just a guess - need to know more first).
