compiz-devel requires libdecoration.so.0
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:57 EST
Description of problem: yum update failed today because --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libdecoration.so.0 for package: compiz-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libdecoration.so.0 is needed by package compiz-devel This only happened on my x86_64 machines. The i386 machines all happily upgraded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-devel-0.3.6-2.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a previous version of compiz and compiz-devel 2. yum update Actual results: The yum update fails with the error message given above. Expected results: Yum should successfully update compiz and compiz-devel. Additional info:
It turns out that we had both the x86_64 and i386 versions of compiz-devel installed. Uninstalling the i386 version let the yum update go through. This means that the i386 compiz-devel currently in x86_64 updates is not installable.
I think I tracked this one down. Is it possible for you to reproduce the same setup and see if it is fixed with compiz-0.5.2-5.0ec3ec.fc8? Thanks.
I just changed jobs and moved and, alas, I no longer have access to an x86_64 machine. I'm i686 only until I feel rich enough to buy a new computer. :-(
Heh, let me know if you get an x86_64 and still see this problem. In the meantime, I haven't seen this reported from anybody else, and I'll close this for now. Thanks.
