i have taken a look in the specfile and did not find something which could cause this problem. Could you please try to update the kde packages with rpm (rpm -Fvh kde*) instead yum. Does this problem still appear? Many Thanks for your report. *** Bug 171958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i have done a fresh fc4 installation on my test machine. First, i have tried to update KDE packages which rpm command and it works without any problem. With yum it breaks with above errors. It seems a bug in yum. can you please send the out put of this command: yum list installed thanks I've only ever seen this error immediately after a fresh install of FC4, followed by a "yum update". (Actually, you have to first delete a few kernel-related packages to get past a transaction error, but this error has happened *every* time for me in those circumstances.) I guess you need the output of 'yum list installed' before 'yum update'? I worked around the problem by removing package kde-i18n-Polish before running 'yum update'. I can't reinstall the workstation anymore (it's being tested) so I can't provide this output now. But really, to reproduce the bug you just need a complete FC4 installation. By the way, I also had to remove packages cman-kernel, dlm-kernel, GFS-kernel, and gnbd-kernel to be able to upgrade. They seem to be tied to a specific version of the kernel, but updates are not provided alongside kernel packages. For example, current updates are: kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 cman-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.15 dlm-kernel-2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4.15 GFS-kernel-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.18 gnbd-kernel-2.6.11.2-20050420.133124.FC4.51 Here's the entire sequence of what happens when you do an "Everything" FC4 install and try to "yum update" in one operation these days -- this is from just a few days ago. The install works fine, but the first attempt at "yum update" complains about a conflict based on the four *-kernel packages listed above because they aren't compatible with the current kernel. You can either just remove those packages (most people don't need them anyway), or try again with: # yum --exclude="*-kernel" update That command is the one that complains about the clash between kdelibs and kde-i18n-Polish. To get around that, I just removed the "kde-i18n-Polish" package and then the above yum update command started to work. Finally, if you don't have enough free space in /usr, the yum command will eventually fail given that, these days, doing a yum update on a *fresh* install involves updating over 550 packages. To get around that last issue (obviously not really an error, just an annoyance), I did the update in two steps: # yum --exclude "*-kernel" update "kde*" # yum --exclude "*-kernel" update and everything was happy. comment #6: Yes - I need to see what was going on beforehand. Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you can add further information to the report. |
