Is this an x86_64 machine? Can you do "rpm -q gnome-python2.i386" and "rpm -q gnome-python2.x86_64" ? Yes, this is an AMD Athlon box, but I am running ia32 FC6 only. The reply for "rpm -q gnome-python2.i386": gnome-python2-2.16.0-1.fc6 The reply for "rpm -q gnome-python2.x86_64" is nothing Ok, so this isn't a multilib issue. I'll look into this when I get into the office. You can verify dependency closure (presumably what you mean
by rpm package headers) i.e. that all headers necessary to satisfy
dependencies are installed, by
rpm -Va --nofiles
Okay, I have tried something else. Here's the output ----------------------------------------------------- yum update yum Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for yum to pack into transaction set. yum-3.0.6-1.fc6.noarch.rp 100% |=========================| 32 kB 00:00 ---> Package yum.noarch 0:3.0.6-1.fc6 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: yum = 3.0-6 for package: yum-updatesd --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: yum = 3.0-6 is needed by package yum-updatesd ----------------------------------------------------- When I tried updating yum the program won't let me because it thinks the *older* package is required by another program. It seems like the headers are a bit messed up What repo are you using, and what yum and yum-updatesd do you have installed? Okay, I solved my problem. It turns out that there are two packages are both installed, one older and one newer. Once I erased the newer version the system updated correctly. ----------------------------------------------- ---> Package gnome-python2-bonobo.i386 0:2.16.2-2.fc6 set to be erased ---> Package gnome-python2-gnomevfs.i386 0:2.16.2-2.fc6 set to be erased ---> Package gnome-python2-libegg.i386 0:2.14.2-9.fc6 set to be erased ---> Package gnome-python2-canvas.i386 0:2.16.2-2.fc6 set to be erased ----------------------------------------------- It's rather strange how that might happened. |
