Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  fortune-mod: Depends: librecode.so.0 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fortune-mod-1.99.1-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
# rpm -U fortune-mod-1.99.1-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        librecode.so.0 is needed by fortune-mod-1.99.1-2.i386

$ rpm --redhatprovides librecode.so.0
recode-3.6-13
$ cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)

But the fortune-mod packages released into Fedora Extras Development have the
same version-release as those for Fedora Extras 3. That's a bug.

Comment 2 Ralf Corsepius 2005-03-21 04:26:03 UTC
My fault. As side-effect of experimenting with yum and apt, I managed to break
my local apt repositories.

Sorry for the confusion.
