The end of the yum output when trying to install openoffice: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libjawt.so.6 for package: openoffice.org-core --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libjawt.so.6 is needed by package openoffice.org-core
This message began to appear on the morning of Monday, May 23. Not knowing precicely what is causing this, it appears that libjawt.so.6 is not included in the most recent update for libgcj.i386 and that several new packages require it. The dependencies are blocking the update of about 25 packages, including gcc. Openoffice.org-core and other packages can be updated by excluding libgcj and its dependencies, which includes gcc, but doing this gets old quickly. I see this: [root@cpmd ~]# yum list available libgcj Setting up repositories development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-development 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 985 kB 00:03 developmen: ################################################## 3600/3600 Added 156 new packages, deleted 162 old in 2.93 seconds Available Packages libgcj.i386 4.0.0-8 development [root@cpmd ~]# yum list available libgcj Setting up repositories development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-development 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 985 kB 00:03 developmen: ################################################## 3600/3600 Added 156 new packages, deleted 162 old in 2.93 seconds Available Packages libgcj.i386 4.0.0-8 development [root@cpmd ~]# yum update libgcj Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-development 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
