This is an x86_64 specific problem. I think gnome-vfs2 should be fixed to require fam or gamin directly, Daniel Problem now seem to be resolved. Yum -y update (with no exclusions) updated the gamin items no dependency errors. No, it is not fixed. I just did a fresh-brand-spankin'-new install of FC3 x86_64 and I cannot run yum update due to this very error. OK, here is what fixed this problem for me: # wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/gamin-0.0.17-1.FC3.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh gamin-0.0.17-1.FC3.i386.rpm # yum -y update This worked (at least it got past the dependency checks--I'm still waiting for the downloads to finish. I would consider this a workaround and not a fix. Having to manually download and install a package from a yum repository in order to get yum to work kind of defeats the purpose of having yum. The real question is why wasn't the i386 version of gamin intstalled to begin with and why wasn't the dependancy resolver able to see that gamin-i386 satisfied gnome-vfs2's libfam.so requirement? I see this as a problem which is likley to pop up in other places in the x86_64 world down the road and so it would be wise to track this down and address it across the board as early as possible. *** Bug 149799 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The previous address given for getting gamin-0.0.17 is no longer valid. I found the appropriate rpm at: http://frontier.eas.asu.edu/updates/old/heidelberg/i386/gamin-0.0.17-1.FC3.i386.rpm "The real question is why wasn't the i386 version of gamin intstalled to begin with" This was the problem. Both the x86 and x86-64 versions of gnome-vfs2 were installed initially, but only the x86-64 version of gamin. This meant that some dependencies were not satisfied right off the bat, before any updates were done, and yum was complaining about the unmet dependencies. It's more a problem with the initial installer. This should already be fixed in later Fedora Core releases. Since FC3 is officially under the care of Fedora Legacy and this is not a security issue (and new installs of FC3 should be rare), closing. |
