repo updates - problems with newer versions, dependencies

jbasko · #1 25th October 2011, 12:08 PM

Hello,

i have a problem which takes me a lot of time and i would like you ask about some hints about it... I hope that this type of problem is ok for this mailing list.

My experienced friend advice me repo "updates", i updated system (i use fedora 15 + xfce) and it kicked off this problem... If i want to compile or install some sw, im globally blocked by this type of problem - any libs or dependeces are newer than a compilation want...

---> Package libXi-devel.i686 0:1.4.2-1.fc15 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: libXi = 1.4.2-1.fc15 for package:
libXi-devel-1.4.2-1.fc15.i686
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libXi-devel-1.4.2-1.fc15.i686 (fedora)
Requires: libXi = 1.4.2-1.fc15
Installed: libXi-1.4.3-2.fc15.i686 (@updates)
libXi = 1.4.3-2.fc15
Available: libXi-1.4.2-1.fc15.i686 (fedora)
libXi = 1.4.2-1.fc15

Note: rows Requires, Installed and Avilable - this is a shot from installing g++ for compiling.

My question is - i disabled repo updates, no problem, but i need remove newer versions gave by updates repo...

Could you give me some advice or help, please... It stops me in another using of linux... Thanx

Honza

add all yum log report

This happens now and then, a package will be updated that lists another package as a dependency and the second one is not yet available. Usually if you wait a couple of days the problem resolves itself.

jbasko · #4 26th October 2011, 12:56 PM

ok, thanx, i hope that i will be wait "couple of days", no couple of months

do you have experience?

kurtdriver · #5 26th October 2011, 04:23 PM

That has been my experience, yes, usually it works that way. Several of those packages were "broken" ie, a package they require isn't quite ready. For instance, rpm-devel-4.9.0-6.fc15.i686 requires rpm-libs(x86-32) = 4.9.0-6.fc15, but can't get it because that version of rpm-libs isn't yet in the repos. It may be by now, though, have you tried it with "--skip-broken" as suggested at the end of your error message?
One thing I've done in this situation was to exclude the broken packages like this,

Code:

su -c "yum groupinstall  "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" --skip-broken -x rpm-devel -x pam-devel"

That way you get most of the stuff you want and the rest will be ready in a couple of days.

Perfect, it helps me to be more experience and cautios about that.
Thanx for command - it fixed my problem partially ...

I have to wait still some days especially for gcc++ etc. Thanx. I hope that it will takes only couple of days. I will try yum update every day

PS: typical maurphy law - needed dependencies are in "Skipped" group
