By the way, after doing some research on this, I assume that it happens because updates have been installed, so it doesn't find the exact package versions it wants. However, given that the first thing most people do is probably get all the current updates after installing, that renders this function useless. Yum works fine if you want to uninstall dozens (or hundreds) of packages by hand. Perhaps the Add/Remove Package function could just queue things up in yum. I have the same problem except that some applications can install and be
uninstalled(In certain situations, more on this soon). When checking Windows
File Server and clicking on 'update' it will produce an error identical to james'
"Package Not found"
The following package could not be found on your system. Installation cannot
continue until it is installed.
Unlocatable package | Required by
samba-common ('samba-client','3.0.10','1.fc3')
-------
Using yum I checked and both these are installed, including samba-common. samba
client version number is the exact same as in the error message. Now what's
interesting is that now when I untick 'Windows file server' and try install any
other app I get the same error as above but with this:
Unlocatable package | Required by
samba-client ('authconfig-gtk','4.6.5','3.1')
Yeah, current system-config-packages doesn't handle updates very well at all. The next generation tool being targeted for FC5 will work far better for these cases |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Description of problem: When accessing the Add/Remove Application menu in the Gnome desktop, not a single component can actually be removed. Every one give the error: "The following packages could not be found on your system. Installation cannot continue until they are installed." This message is followed by a list of components. Sometimes this list has 2 or 3 entries, sometimes it has dozens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Add/Remove Applications 2. Uncheck any component 3. Press the update button Actual Results: Error message "The following packages could not be found on your system. Installation cannot continue until they are installed." Expected Results: Component removal. Additional info: This function literally does not work for a single component. I am scratching my head wondering what the purpose of this function actually is, or if I am doing something wrong...
