I hope that this helps!

Details please. How so?
May be related to similar report in bug #487550 Rex, In regards to your Comment #2, it seemed that when trying to install kdeedu-marble alone using yum at the commandline, at this point with all of the packages downloaded into my yum cache, resulted in a very long list of file conflicts between two lists of similar KDE pacakges that came from different versions of KDE. The only fix I was able to find was to just run "yum update" from the commandline. I don't recall whether or not I went to the trouble of clearing out the package cache directories, but that might have been a necessary step as well. Recall however, that this all started by trying to install the updates using gnome-packagekit in GNOME instead of running "yum update" from the commandline. So... is it still a problem? If so, the details regarding the conflicts would be much appreciated. Apparently it is not (as much of) a problem when using "yum update" from the commandline, but may be a problem when using gnome-packagekit for the first time after installing with a DVD+R made from the original 10 iso at this point. Doing a network install or using a DVD+R of the Fedora Unity Project Respin for 10 might be easy workarounds. Then again, I haven't tried doing a network install yet, so I won't swear by that yet. I'd rather not recreate it, but in the greater interest of the Project I will do it. This will be the first time that I have ever used a Kickstart file, so I will need to read up on that first. *What would be a good way to pipe the output from yum and gnome-packagekit into text files in this case?* The output from gnome-packagekit might be small, but getting the output from "yum install kdeedu-marble" is absolutely huge (I'm pretty sure that the list exceeded the number of lines allowed by the terminal window settings I had at the time), so just doing a middle-click might not cut it in this case (i.e. it likely would be more difficult, so I would prefer something a little more automated). To be clear, doing yum install kdeedu-marble on a non-current machine is known-broken (but is mitigated by preceding that with 'yum update). I'm more interested in conflicts related to simple updates, e.g. yum update OK, another person in #fedora-kde saw this and we were able to narrow it down. definitely a dup of the aforementioned bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 487550 *** |
