From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Tried up2date -uf perl. I am getting the same error as before :- I have tried to run up2date and have seleted Perl but I get the following error:- There was a package dependency problem. The message was. Unresolvable chain of dependencies. Perl-5.8.0-88.3 requires perl-NDBM_file <= 1:1.75-34.99.6. I get this error on both of my servers. More information. rpm -q perl perl-5.8.0-88 rpm -q up2date up2date-3.1.23.2-1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.up2date --nox -uf perl 2. 3. Actual Results: There was a package dependency problem. The message was. Unresolvable chain of dependencies. Perl-5.8.0-88.3 requires perl-NDBM_file <= 1:1.75-34.99.6 Expected Results: Updated Additional info:
this is caused by the perl-NDBM_File not being removed on an upgrade from RH7.x to RH8 or RH9. The solution is to rpm -e perl-NDBM_File by hand; up2date should then work.
