xorg-x11-libs dependency failure for x86_64
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:52 EST
Description of problem: When attempting to upgrade xorg-x11 via yum, there is a dependency failure which appears to be a result of an error in the header. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.7.0-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update Actual results: Package xorg-x11-libs needs xorg-x11-libs-data = 6.7.0-5, this is not available. Expected results: xorg-x11 is updated to version 6.7.0-9 Additional info: I have tried several different x86_64 mirrors, all with the same results.
I recommend contacting the administrator of the yum repositor(y|ies) that you are having this problem with, as this is not a bug in the X.Org software itself, and does not appear to be a bug in the packaging of the X.Org software either. It seems to be a problem with what software is available on the yum mirror's you are using, and some mirrors may not mirror both i386 arch as well as x86_64 arch. If they do, and one arch is out of sync with the other, there may be problems also. Since we have built the rpms that are claimed to be missing, and they have been released to the public over time, I don't consider it to be packaging related either. Another possibility is that there might be a multilib issue, but that's a problem for the domain of rpm/yum to solve, and also not related to the xorg-x11 package. If the problem still occurs for you after investigating the yum mirrors you're using, please discuss the issue on Fedora Core mailing lists to try to narrow the problem down and see if it is a configuration issue or command usage issue. Closing bug "WORKSFORME" as I do not consider this a bug in xorg-x11 nor it's packaging, and I'm unable to reproduce locally.
